The Walls

these walls surround me from the north south east and west
for in this place my role in society is retired and put to rest
a place where your talents and skills are put aside
you will face a judge and upon him your future he will decide
it can bring you a new start or leave a terrible end
leaving you behind those walls needing that one special friend
you hope and pray for that one chance to be givin
to return to your life in the land of the livin
