Empty Cage

For every balloon
there is a heart
For every star
there is the dark
For every boss
there is a hustle
For every death
there is an ocean
For every storm
there is a hope

For every preacher
there is a whore
For every cop
there is a day
For every cloud
there is a slave
For every election
there are thieves
For every woman
there is a songbird

For every broken heart
there is an empty cage
Weeping
