Primary Prison MAG
May 14, 2015
You walk through heavy metal doors
with your wide eyes and eager smile
you hug your mom goodbye
with your Barbie backpack and pink lunch box.
You have no idea that they will drug you
with the pill
of knowledge
with rules,
restrictions, and
regulations.
and for
the next 13 years
they will feed you
the alphabet
through a metallic
bitter spoon
when all you wanted
was to have a voice of your own.
