Invisible Prison
Invisible Prison
I look at the wall
I look at the floor
I look out the window
I look at the door
No clock on the wall
No light in the socket
Empty bottles and empty wallet
Bars in my mind
I am tied to chair
Longing freedom of the fresh air
Ropes hold me tight
Hopes have dulled my escaping knife
Empty room
Empty soul
I look at the floor
I look at the wall
I look at the door
I look out the window
The ceiling is falling
Fans twirling in my head
I stumble and fall
Through it all
Mirrors in turmoil
Dance in the mind
Death's sardonic laughter
Wishes granted by the latter
Month’s later authorities will demand
What the hell is the matter?
Red words, all a splatter
Stoic I sit, nothing to shatter
Police Report
One No sign of any struggle
Two Almost looks like he froze to death
One Door wasn’t even locked
One No food in the fridge
Two Odd hardly any furniture
One Will need a tox screen to make sure
One Looks like he just sat there and died
Two How long you figure he was like that?
One Month or more, maybe even two, allot of decomposition
Two Who called it in?
One Neighbor, said his car had a flat tire in his driveway
One and wasn’t moved in weeks
Two Hey take a look at this!
One what you got?
Two The freezer, full of Cash and gold
One I'd be damned, no food and all that doe
Two Almost feels like he was in a prison
One Who knows? The coroner is here
Two Ya, guess we done here, lab will do the rest
One Lets go grab a coffee
Some people have convictions, some people have two!
