Freedom Trampled Underfoot
Freedom Trampled Underfoot 2/2/2008
My thoughts are like a shallow grave.
As I sit here and rot, my conscience begins to waver,
I feel my soul begin to wilt.
Oh, woe to those who feel the depths of my calamity.
Cursed are they who fuel the fire of this infernal system.
Black-hearted are the beasts who stalk the halls,
That prey on the weak and feeble-minded,
The forlorn and the forgotten.
Rancid and foul is my predicament, my plight.
Brought on by no less than my own hand,
A mistake much regretted, causing much remorse.
Oh, hellish place, damn thee to hell!
May I never darken the walls of your prison again!
-Written while incarcerated in VCSD Jail.
