A useless politic
Thoughts no longer stick
Subdued by a trick
– Of the missing thinking cap
Look twice before the leap
A hole twice as deep
A perfect place to sleep
– A dungeon of the mind
Tighter pull the chains
Against the thrashing strains
So little air remains
– Just a silent scream

Ominous! It may be a silent scream, but the intensity of that last verse almost made me hear it.

Ominous indeed! I actually wrote the last stanza first and then realised it needed to be at the end.
