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.
