Poem
As you know I write the truth of my soul From the highest high to the lowest low To me it is simply what I do Couldn’t stop if I wanted to The honest truth, “I don’t know why” But it seems I can feel the tears you cry Imagine what a burden that would be The honest burden of pure poetry Leprechauns and rainbows are really great If we could just get beyond the color and hate I spent years where that was all there was To this day the only reason I can find is because Red, yellow brown, black, green & white The hate inside the gate just isn’t right Hate another man for no reason at all You never forget watching a dead man fall But in the really real Prison that’s a way of life As one of your homeboys moves in with your wife So you want to get high well go ahead Be my guest and let your soul end up dead The high I speak of is all the way I am the master of the games I play Now here I am a fool all broken down A ghost of a man, shadow of a clown With a smile on my face from ear to ear Because you know what, the Lord lives here This is my story as this is my plight Just as this is my burden, this is my fight Think about what your doing before it is done Always room for another number in Prison son And once your there, there is no way out And you best learn quick what its all about Pick-em and stick-em that is the game If you want to have respect by your name Tell me wouldn’t you rather just stay out here Loving all the people that you hold so dear Everyday in every state from shore to shore Folk off to Prison thinking, “What am I here for” "I’m not that bad and that’s actually true" But you will be when Prison is through with you Save yourself the trouble as well as the shame Be an honest person and stay out of the game ------------------------------------------------------- I reckon that about says it all, Just please think about what your doing and those you love.
