Prisoner

Prisoner BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB I dare not say that I am innocent for I am not I have committed a crime But my delinquency is contrary to felony I have committed a crime of goodwill My transgression may not require the compensation of a custodial sentence But I deem it necessary to be jailed Furthermore, I implore thee to let me hang by the tree For I find no a reason to walk any longer For too long I have carried the burden Too long I have held on to this love I have loved uncontrollably My whole heart I have given unto thee Though I am dubious of thy thoughts I ponder on what to do Locking the door is painful But no longer can I wait, for a shooting star on a cloud-covered sky 29 November 2011
