Two-thirty in the morning at my window.
Moonlit dark centiment, I feel windblown.
Convict compliment,
heartless at sundown,
and as the morning comes
the need dies down.
At sunrise all is forgotten...

woven with black walls
a prison

You can blame me as a nefarious devilish being
Your judgment can convict me as a hellish king
But I'm a surrendered creation from the womb
Where my birth has cultivated my ultimate tomb

One day, a convict got away, and went out on the lam.
And on the sly, he did buy, his very own kitchen cam.
Wanting to glow, in a reality show, though not a ham.
This jailbird, much preferred, to star in the Joy of Spam.

Throw in life
And ask for nothing in return
Let it go
Flowing from every orifice
Couldn’t keep it
Never wanted to
Fled like a convict
On the run from myself
Lost but never found
Placed in that mysterious lair
Between life and death
To spend eternity
With those I despise...

“Be still for Chrisake!
The head is crowning. 
Now be still, damn you!”

These women are the damned
Crammed into slab huts
At the edge of Hell.
Condemned as sluts,
Their bellies swell
With hunger
Or some bastard’s bastard brats.

"Be still, please God!
Let the brat be still!"...

To convict a man
you first must break his spine.  
He will stand again, 
like a budding flower, 
ever knowing the 
tears that crawled 
and wavered 
in his hands.  

He will only speak
your name, 
my love, 
and the pulses of 
each finger, 
wrapping around yours, 
will vibrate the world....

You hold the wood in your hand 
And 
Wear the robes wrapped around your fragile human frame

You judge the living 
And
The dead although your own breath is shallow

You read between these lines
And
Decide a life's works worth

The verdict
To convict or aquit
Hangs in the balance of the downward hammer swing...

convict
                                discouraged, depressed,
                      mudslinging, gossiping, exaggerating,
                         convict, inmate, teacher, father
                             loving, uplifting, inspiring
                                 innocent, exonerated

blood grows cold at the sight
of suffering.my own and those
of others.
still holding my ears,closing
my eyes waiting for the gun
blasts to go away.

opening a cold window
to a cold street my cigar smoke 
leaves my lips.
I follow the smoke as it filters
through the window screen
as an escaped convict waiting
for the wind to carry it free....

Controversial boxing legend with a distinctive lisp, "Iron Mike" Tyson.
 The sheer impact of his punch? Probably like being rammed by a Bison.
   
  Ex-convict/former bad boy; paid his debt to society without exemption.
   Came out of prison, got boxing license back, took road to redemption.

Young afraid heard tales told
Boarded upon ships
Not in search of gold
Far from family home
Life of drudgery

Mary Bryant
Daring lady
She escaped 
Facing dangers

New life hers
Soon found out
Sent back home

Famous 
Was she

Pardoned

(Loosely based on the story of Mary Bryant who was in prison in Whales and sent to 
Australia  to serve out her sentence.)...

Convict me,my thoughts of dark.I surrender after I have made my mark.Believe that I am
vain.I swallow up your tears of pain.Convict me,I have no soul,as my life flashes out of
control.I may never be the same again.Alone,lost,and without a friend.Convict me,put me
away.For I have nothing more to say.Convict me,the story that I have told.Now I am gone
where it is black and cold....

re-post inspired by Debbie's contest

We like sheep have gone astray,
if He marked our transgressions
who would stand.

Tempted,ofttimes
tormented,self-conscious,self-
seeking missing the mark;stepping
over the line,impulsive,doing what
we do want to do.

Encouraged into
doubt,we deceive ourselves,listening
to the father of lies,’Til the Holy Spirit
convict us of this sin....

When the erstwhile Tweeter-in-Chief vents
It is "Freedom of Speech," a First Amendment Right
When Democratic Party will "fight" tyrant-efforts
Defense rests on moral equivalence, yet last night
As many as seven Republican Senators got Party censures
For voting to convict Christian Trump of incitement (01/06/2021)

never ending walls
No opening to escape
claw marks on the brick

infinite walking
excercise for the sinners
we're carving out hell

three guards stand watching
mocking the lame sufferers
spitting at our feet

What is psychosis but a sinkhole
Where the self loses its parts and whole

Tied to a big rock called depression
Every attempt for leverage is doomed to recession

Psychosis is a double bevel knife
That joyfully tortures a person's life

Every fragment is a derelict
feeling guilty like a convict waiting for his verdict

Rising becomes as reality, an illusion 
There is no hope for resolution...
