Barbed Wires
There is a squirrel in my cell
Listen to this because
I have things to tell.
I named the brat Hope
Like whom one day
I too wish to elope
With no footprints to trace
To feel the wind on my face.
You may wonder
What am I doing here
In this bloody house of hell?
Like most other inmates
And our dear Alice
I slipped down the rabbit hole
And fell, and fell, and fell.
The felony of this felon?
A first-degree murder
Vicious, vile and venomous
Horrid, horrible and hideous
Shot his brains out with a bullet
Cut his dick into pieces
Pierced his heart with a knife.
The son of a deserved it
For thrice that beastly night
With No conscience, No consent,
But yes amidst a ***ing fight
He raped my wife
He raped my beautiful wife!
She died from the brutal assault
My Nirbhaya.
Call it fate or call it the
***ed up legal system
The dead rapist was
Declared innocent.
For he allegedly was lured
Into the heinous act
By my wife's "luscious short skirt"
Apparently her "thighs were showing"
But the murderer
Imprisoned for life.
Not a good life to live
Of that of a con or an ex-con
Where Every day, Every second
One mourns and mourns and mourns.
A Stinky 6 by 8 is all I have now
No breath of fresh air
Days filled with prayers
Nights with nightmares
Walls scribbled with a vow
To fight till my sanity gives up
Or somebody sane on the outside
Reads my story of despair
And if nothing else
Sends me a ***ing wheelchair.
Yes last month
I lost my legs
In a bloody prison warfare
And yes decades ago
I lost all family ties
For nobody wants to be
Involved in a con's affair
Imprisoned for life
But who the *** cares!
Who the cares.
