Groundhogs

Locked in a room, strapped to a hollow chair Faint musty smell, odor of stale air Sealed from the outside in a cage that is six-foot square Eyes that are fixed in a glazed disbelieving stare Cyanide pills dropped in an acid bath Froth forms a cloud as deadly as death's own staff Lungs start to burst trying to hold your breath But have the last laugh 'cos Earth is just a cage Seven thousand miles wide
