Bite the Hand

Storm against
The bars of your cage steel
Like the teeth of snarling dogs
Tethered to your schooling

You are not
Fodder for the warring steel
A docked tail of snarling dog
Tethered to your schooling

Powerless
Against the razor steel
Raised hackles of snarling dog
Tethered to your schooling

Rise up
Twist the bars of your cage steel
Red eyed rage of snarling dog
Tethered to your schooling

You are
The key to the caged steel
Muzzle for a snarling dog
Tethered to your schooling

Free
To destroy your cage
To steel against the leash
Tethered to your schooling
