That Cage of Happiness...

On a boastful day in a ravaged city,
Shinning impatience as if sustaining immortality,
At a red moment it caught the gaze,
The flushing happiness in that cage.

The cheap alloy cramped in heat,
Filled in smiles on a corrugate seat,
Jumping peanuts on the dusty alloy,
Centered four friends in their feast of joy,

In this paradox with them; we and me,
We'd space, breeze and closeness to see,
The cribbing soul of corrupt being,
Shall always be in the fight of need,

I need; We need and so We need,
Life's as such that we bought this seed,
We believe that happiness is a deal,
So was the cage so real?

That cheap cage had nothing to deal,
But just four friends in a state of mind that we lack to seem
Was just happiness of purest love,
Far away for all ordeal.
