Floridas Homeless Jailed And Now May Die
they shuffle them in, quiet and cold, like bodies stacked in a morgue, breathing in the scent of rot, sweat, piss, dreams beaten down to dust. this is where they house the lost and the broken, the ones who drank too much, who listened too little, who were loved even less. no place left but these walls, and four bunk beds rusted thin, men muttering to ghosts no...

Pills Jailed You
You used to be a gentle lover Memories of that now just hover Over a cold dark jail cell You created from the hell Pills you took broke your spirit It so hard to try and clear it Once you start this filthy habit You are hooked, each day you grab it Addiction is now your friend Your whole world comes to an end Wrecked...

To a Liar
The color of your tongue Rhymes not with your song: No longer the deeper red Of the truly well-fed But the darker black Of one in bare lack; What lies do to the lips And to The Dishonest that quips; Your charcoal tongue, a mark of Cain Spares you not a deserved pain… And – see? – You‘re shivering And your voice quavering; A wetness on your...

Insects meek mosquito came, sung, drank blood to live harmless to harmful they’re killer in race! I killed colored my hand no blood I kept in them They were mosquitoes of last night none knew CID team from the insects charged, seized and punished me for lifelong; coward I was jailed sleeping! -November 10, 2018 Chattogram...

I'M Jailed Inside Your Love
I'm a hostage and it's great I'll gladly be your inmate And put under lock and key With no choice of getting free You can take all the control Of not giving me parole A life sentence I will take I promise to never break Out of this cell I am in Wanting my life to begin Chained together now and always As we walk down...

Knights Have Tried and Have Failed To Rescue a Princess Jailed
A bridge that lifts into the air A foggy moat warning beware Do not cross or you will be Part of this castles history That has claimed a lot of victims Trying every kind of system To rescue the trapped princess But there has been no success To get in this eerie castle Is becoming quite a hassle For the knights on sturdy horses Using all...

Jailed In His Own Skin
In the shade of his smile, Echoes much depletedness. In the depths of his eyes, Is a spectacle of inanition, In the chaos of his heart, Lays one true thing, a lie...   His cocoon of titanium, A grim cage of no opportunity.   Boundaries set, Letting nobody in.   His deserted being, Hidden in the shadows.   Reflecting a destroyed boy,   A hollow shell of who he once was. © Copyright All Rights...

Jailed Tears fall like rain due to all the stupid little things left in your mind, All those things are to remind you of your bad decision to do this crime, So you will sit in your 5x10 cell and think about why you're doing time, Soon you will get out and start fresh, What is out there for...

Never thought I would adorn prison stripe of black and white without fashion or flare. News coverage was an exaggerated hype that could give me a lifetime to wear. I proclaim that I am blameless and innocent with no record of violence anywhere. My heart is heavy with sorrow for this gent whose loving soul I did willfully snare. I didn’t know his...

Jailed Mind
I am not someone I’d ever want to meet Storms rage in my head, Ashes settle on my feet. My sanity is bleeding, My hairline slightly receding My touch a wicked chill, With a mangy heart and too weak a will I am not someone I’d ever wish to hear These eyes sweat screams As I trudge this crooked line...

Jailed, An Ode To
Here in this land of tranquility, blossoming with the fragrance of spring, lie's the entrance to the land, that know free man has seen, down you will burrow, away from the light, here you will find it, a land of such fright, the people who dwell here, some wicked, some small, some will tell nothing, while others tell all, few are good, and those that are not, will lead...
