Farewell of a Convict
August 17, 2013
Cold iron bars.
Cold unfeeling light.
Cold closed doors.
Cold Empty nights.
Cold burning stars.
My Cold dusty home,
A thousand miles away
My Hurt wife.
Hurt victims.
Hurt children.
Hurt faces.
Hurt economy.
My Hurt soul,
Is redemption still possible?
My Lonely Cell
Lonely people
Lonely nights
Lonely prisoners
Lonely lights
My Lonely fight...
All because of greed and lies
It's time to say goodbye...
I must escape tonight.

I guess I just found it depressing and realized I could best share the emotion in poetry.
