The Convict Part 1

Life behind these bars My recidivistic chained lounge; I bonded with loneliness At will - My frail wrist Scarred by the bangle of guilt - Chaste from birth but now guilty "Death by the rope" - is My price for dis-innocence I embraced it well like wraith Of though fear might flee Justice will kill me tonight And I'll whiff peace through my death Bang!!! Off goes the bong The call for my end i think; Broody pangs aches me aloud As the crowd barracks Sully smile stained their faces Spits, Sticks, sands and stones were thrown Inside the foyer - My doers came with blindfolds - Glow of darkness beholds me, Farewell my best friends; Crickets, flies and mosquitos I'd hear chirps and buzz no more I'd be dead real soon But no one knows my reason For crime - no one ever cares! Now, freedom will walk To criminals' tomb for peace Just for my son's sake Defending my blood Was all i did - Just a blow On the chest and death took him.. For this single sake I'll die so that i can live The gallow awaits my scrag
