"Prison Chains" - your comments please

Prison chains

Wake up, alarms in your head
That keep going off thru the day
Another deadline to separate time
As you ease into your prison chains

You’re human fuel burning out
Fulfilling your destiny
As a plunging line on a time graph
An art form of this century

These prison chains are your making
A disease you embrace
You’re smiling but the gaps start showing
It’s like a cancer in your face

Prison chains, didn’t see them coming
Till they were firmly in place
You’re still smiling, an emptiness growing
Where you once had a face

You gave up so much of your life
You couldn’t have known what for
Nothing you built was meant to last
And no one was keeping score

You’re a victim of the surmise
That these chains were too strong
They were nailed to the open skies
Untested far too long

These prison chains are your making
A disease you embrace
You’re smiling but the gaps start showing
It’s like a cancer in your face

Prison chains, didn’t see them coming
Till they were firmly in place
You’re still smiling, an emptiness growing
Where you once had a face

And as I watch you multiply
Into a vortex of human pain
Can I smash the mirrors between you and I
The last of my prison chains.
