Life In Jail

Life in jail, does not mean fail.

In fact some jest; it’s just a test.

Out lives will change, must re-arrange.

We do our time, for whatever crime.

To make things right, seems such a fight.

To be good, harm none, to have actually won.

One must have vision, to fulfill this mission.
