Being Productive

To get a job, upon release, 

Not so easy, to make that cheese.

Have to pay, to be free,

Not a pun, that’s how it be.


Starting over, on the right track,

Must report keep giving back

Still have to follow, all the rules,

Can’t seem to shake, judicial fools.


Will do my best, to stay in line,

Find some way, to pay my fine.

Get back up, avoid the law,

Starting fresh, and staying raw.
