By Anonymous

Sky high fences
Barbed wire to slice
Security guards, no privacy
Life.
Shades of grey,
Dirt and grime
Cell blocks, cell mates
Time.
Stories to tell
Stories of Hell
Murder,
Rape,
Even worse
Innocence lost, families torn
All for a hit
Numb the pain inside
What’s it all mean?
What’s it all for?
Salvation, Redemption….perhaps more?
Paintings,
Art,
Gardens and Poems
Help ease the pain of the violence once worn.
Though freedom may be far
Hope
calms the heart
To be free
From the chains
Forevermore
