Trapped in a False Eden

   Trapped in a false Eden
Mountain walls climb high holding in
     The lost
Tempting is the forbidden fruit
But hidden
   Hidden away like the untrue paradise
Surrounded by another kind of forbidden fruit
   Guards set their piercing stare
Keeping us enclosed
   Too far from what I seek
Their power misused and abused
   Held in front of lost children
Children without home
     Or family
   Home has become a place
Seen only on weekends and holidays
   Guards set their piercing eyes
Daring one to grab for the fruit
   A false Eden of whispered lies
Segregated from society
     Eden of the Lost
