Is This What You Wanted

Poetry is activism/Penned in prison/Gleaned from prisms/I been in this system/Where the scene is livid/Pedophiles, thieves/Fiends and killers/It seems forgiveness/Is a religious construct/The Dept. of Justice/Has departed from adjusting us I'm not the only one Who has been in since adolescence What kind of lesson Is learned from Half a century of oppression? Is this the system you wanted?/Mass incarceration/Is this a confirmation/Every Time you elect/A tough on crime politician/Every Time they build another prison/I understand crime and punishment/But not the money spent/I'm not a Republican/But what happened/To conservative gov't? Cleverly abbreviated The populace inebriated On prescription pills Social media and feeding hatred Is this what you wanted? For more visit: https://traviswolfkill.wordpress.com/
