Limbo I’m in a dark space There are no edges And the sides flex if I push I am blind and deaf The taste of doubt In my mouth The scent of fear In my nostrils I roll and kick But I make no impact I want to be free But there’s no way out I’m agonising Worrying, uncertainty Claustrophobia haunts me Rules my mind. Everybody hates me I’m against...

Premium Member Contextual Comrades Incarcerated

Censored by the voices of shame guilt and hubris masquerading as righteous indignation. Virtue’s vanity shouting from the “bully” pulpit concerned only with its own reflection “gutturally” genuflecting before a muted “god”. ©6/3/2021...

Incarcerated Thoughts Written: by Miracle Man 1-17-2020 Thoughts wear my brand while Incarcerated, until spoken by tongue or printed in ink.

The Incarcerated Word
What was created to expose, now a fortress meant to hide Bastions of higher learning, masking havens safe for lies Where discourse once was treasured, the ivy droops and sighs With comfort their true measure, the dilettantes all cry Plato is disgusted, John Locke is more than riled As a millennium of learning is...

Incarcerated
The silent implosion of an unwanted notion, that chisels the surface of a mind still in growth. the dormant progress of life still in motion will mold the clad fist that grabs at your throat the illusion of silver at the crease of a spoon will drip over flames in remote solitude. thrash at the door that holds you enslaved and...

An Incarcerated Father
He chose the illegal way, instead of honesty and prayer, to deny his sordid existence with the blankest stare; and while tragedy strikes home, he can't evade those prisons' walls and run free to comfort with his shallowness a wife drowned in sorrow, struggling to make a living, giving more density to an empty feeling... An incarcerated father,, temporarily alienated from society,while his...
