Judgement

How proud they put them on display
Two thousand of the first of fortyk
There President Bukele did say
They’ll live in the jailhouse for decades
he went on boasting, in jail it’s judgement day,
as he held his glass of brandy toasting
inmates, suspected violent gang members 
moved to a new mega-prison in El Salvador
Transferred to the Center of Confinement

A Jailhouse Artist

I am a jailhouse artist,
I paint with whatever I got,
I have no brush or pigment,

All I have is pen and paper,
And some thoughts to toss about,
I just do whatever I can do,
To share my creativity,
From my “artistic” soul for you.

Your efforts to diffuse.
Your answers don't amuse.
It's just your lawyer's ruse.

You have too short a fuse
And I've had time to peruse
The reasons that she sues.
My answer is ..You lose!

Take the laces from

Jailhouse Blues

the jailhouse blues have consumed me
the life that I lived has doomed me
for all of the things I've done so wrong
the law says this is where I belong

society says that justice is due
for a life of crime and mischief too
if only I knew then what I know now
I' have lived my life different somehow

They're all singing those jailhouse blues.

Jailhouse Spread

Ramen noodles cooked then drained
Heat the chili beans
Dice up available meat
Mix it together
Gather the homeboys
Dish it out
Grub!
