Best Life Sentence Poems

Dear freedom, your sweet innocent voice seems
Now like a distant echo, lost in the wind.
Hopes lost in a set of broken dreams,
With heavy chains, to your heart of stone pinned.

Day by day, night by night, without an end in sight,
Tortured by the ravaging beak of...

life sentence 
I can’t go on with my life in addiction 
How can I ever have any kind of relations 

A week a month a year 
I really have no idea
It’s all the not knowing 
That’s stops life growling 
You build it all up

When the State said she needed a home
and would I help her out with her meds
I said yes
though I had some grave doubts
and they never mentioned a life sentence.

When the doctor said she had fetal alcohol
our life was paused to grow grim.
I said wait,
need to...

This is my true story.
I will tell to you in rhyme,
when i worked at a psychiatric hospital,
i was only seventeen year old at the time.
when one old patient told me
the reason she was locked away,
she had given all her love to a soldier,
for her sin...

I hope you rot in hell
In your prison cell

They should throw away the key
You should NEVER be set free

You were in a position of trust
Where you satisfied your lust

For you brutally defiled
Many an innocent child

You blamed your ‘immaturity’
For robbing children of their purity

I hope you...

Life Sentence

 American picked up at Cambridge, 
 Astonishedly could not explain it.
 Was he guilty?  No doubt.
 He ran off at the mouth,
 And utterly killed the King's English....

All my mind sees,
Is what you pray yours won't have to;
The things avoided,
with routine to distract you.
The sick and twisted nature of mankind,
The space,  the earth,  and any creatures divine,
The plagues,  the wrath,  the mindset of suicide,
But Most importantly,
what of when we die?.

I beg the...

We’re doing time on planet earth, 
our sentence started right at birth 

The sentence is, we’re here for life 
and with mistakes it will be rife 

The sentence cannot be commuted – 
We’re here ‘til to dust we’ve been transmuted 

We’re sentenced here with other...

What is a life sentence?
Is it when a judge castes years upon your life?
Locked away behind medal bars,
With no chance of parole.
Or is it being born without question?
Your fate is in your own hands.
Whatever your wrongdoing is,
Comes back to you tenfold.
A life sentence,
With out the...

The needle slides in
Like a petrified snake
The dope shot in,
Time is a fake
But it's his break.
Oblivion sets in.
Content he dreams
Of far off misty lands
sweet musk, delicious tastes.
Oh heavenly dope, how it redeems!
 
Suddenly he wakes.
There's no one near him to care.
No one to kiss with...

We are all serving a life sentence of solitary confinement,
imprisoned within the boundaries of our own skin....

Running and hiding, feeling alone
life as the turtle with a shell for a home.
   The streets are your circus where you perform as a clown
   while everyone's laughing at your silly frown.
There's your role as the trickster where mag-ic-aly
the truth remains...

Lord Jesus Christ is my number one love
no one or nothing else can compare
He is the greatest lover of all
one so beautiful yet exceedingly rare

Jesus has loved me from eternity past
promising to do so forever more
He indeed is fairest of ten thousand
lovers together heavenly we'll...

Back and forth the monkey paces 
Alone is his small backyard cage. 
He did not make his cramped cage,
But the small cage makes him. 
Far away, he sees children in a park 
Running free and laughing. 
He also sees birds flying free 
And singing far...
