Best Imprisonment Poems

She looked at his face as he raped her
Making sure she remembered all
When it was time to go to court
She watched as the jail sentence fell

He cried in court, I am innocent
No way would I do such a crime
But the court didn’t believe him
Put him...

Thousands of prisoners are in Cebu Jail
Many of them had committed crimes for hell
But how will you judge their wickedness?
Now that they can even wipe away your tears

They’re all well- known with their superb talent
They marvelously dance for your entertainment
I’m sure they will refuse if...

Wrongful Imprisonment

I am bowing again, in prison, no advocate to plead my case;
Forcefully constrained: by years and years of hardship and lack. 
Believing, this was meant to be; this was all I was meant to be;
Who will render help to me? Who will compassionately deliver...

Here I live in darkness
Dreadful fright and fear
Kept from all my fam'ly
And friends that once were near

Why am I imprisoned
What has been my wrong?
Why this dreadful sorrow
Instead of happy song?

Naught has been my trespass
Innocent am I
Robbed of all life's goodness
Condemned in jail to die...

SELF IMPRISONMENT
by 
JOHN M. ARRIBAS





There Is One Thing of Which I’m Sure
A Self Imposed Guilt Has No Cure
One Can Not Carry the Burdens of Fate
On the Shoulders of a Surviving Mate
We All Could Have Been a Better Person
Self Imposed Guilt, an Unmerited Burden
Loss of Peace,...

FALSE IMPRISONMENT IN KENYA

An orphan, woman farmer with two children
Opened the door to an old friend

He used to stand for peace,
For love, for joy, for happiness. But now…
He sits in silence, blankly staring…
At this emotional mess,
Angrily failing love’s test,
Falling deep into nothingness.
You’re consumed with fear, with despair,
With grief…
You can’t even look in the mirror,
Cause all you see is disbelief.
So disappointed...

back to school, in the fall.
the sun still beating down on sidewalks,
baking skin and half-dead leaves.
trapped inside a classroom
with similar minds.
cramped by unoriginality and theories.
longing to stand in the wind,
or lay in the grass.
with blue skies and the warm kiss of sun,
allowing a pen to...

For nine nights only your own will had bound you
to the World ´s Tree, you treacherous God,
while I wore a chain that I chose not, forever:
With cruel fetter my freedom you took!"

Greater your strength and...
