Were jailed for sexual assaults!

His lifestyle—his fate

Not his robbery should have
Jailed him…snobbery

School

So many years
standing in lines
wasting my brain
wasting my time 
jailed in rooms
away from outside
away from the sun
away from my life...

Clothed In Prison

The Emperor jailed in wishful thinking,
 where only he could be

As I escape inside myself
—a prisoner running free

Politics

Idiots are those whose expectations 
They invested in a phrase they overheard
Confused "Sesam open"with aberration
With a grain and so in a magic cave were jailed.

Contempt of Court

A lawyer once said, he could get me free.
No trial held, just a hearing you see
A traffic ticket was all.
My lawyer, so very small.
Not seen by judge, contempt of court, jailed me.

Premium Member Six people in the U K '

Six people in the uk, charged with crimminal damage on a protest..
May well be sentanced as terrorists
And be jailed for over a decade each
Where is the reality.? What would such
Teach.?

Premium Member My Valentines

Jailed words through sentences 
with commitment not nonsense 
switching mode between talked
minds above below and over aim
if information goes with truth...-

Premium Member Unlisted

Alas it seems my list has been curtailed
as half my list has been unjustly jailed
all those naughty bits
challenging my wits
I’ve tried and tried again yet always failed

American Music

American Bandstand caused dance explosions
fearful grandparents held investigations
jailed killers loved music 
nothing on plastic
quitters reverse strategies
underlining victories
wishing X 
youngsters’ zest

Premium Member dowdy drab doris

Doris was dowdy, drab, and draggle-tailed too
Forever frumpy, frightened, a failure, at age thirty-two
Jaundiced, juicy-gossipy, jealous, and July jailed
Slovenly, slithery, shipwrecked, her moment had sailed.

Jesus

Just a tiny baby
joyful about bringing
justice.  He and Father 
jointly prepared the plan.
Jailed and crucified,
justification paid,
Jesus bought man’s pardon.

Parable 6: Forgiveness

A man whose boss forgave him a large debt
then charged a friend who owed him with a threat:
   “Now pay what you owe
   or to prison you go.”
The boss jailed that man till his debt was met.

Sanseki

Once jailed and bailed
Virtually mental saw scaled
Angry aggressive and hyper
The crotalinae hypnotic striker
Cold blooded terrestrial Sanseki
Whitish echis carinatus sochureki...
Life is a game with snakes on every level..

Humanity- Now Political Flirt

treacherous venom
in mortal sense for fragile throne

venomous snake
in heaven like political door
as fallen angel
crawling, dancing, cheering up

oh; humanity is jailed in political flirt!

Jubilee 

Joyful shouts we proclaim!
Jarring cries of freedom's
Jurisdiction by God,
JUMP from every lip
Jailed...in debt...and in slave!
JUBILEE is here! And
Judgement...is forgiven!

Imprisoned Ink

No escape for words from freedom’s ink,
My blood is jailed in sleepless veins.
The tears of awareness dissolve belief,
Blades of grandeur slice my nerves,
And stillness strangles every motion,
Crushing rhythm into endless death.

No Soup For You

Jerry and friends, whose humor never failed,
Ended nine years on air by being jailed.
Left viewers feeling blue
Without "No soup for you!"
Most fans were angry. Their protests emailed.

Habits

Money, Greed, and lust
The sins that target us
Cheating, Lying, Stealing
Bad habits that were given
Or better yet obtained
Egos inflate the brain
Since you can not change
Your behavior can't be tamed
Your jailed if you let your bad habits and addictions control your brain

Obscured But Secured

Sitting in a corner, observing events as they unfold 
I live like a toad in my precious humble abode 
Sleeping and Waking  up from the same place 
In a world obscured but certainly secured 
Not that I am jailed in this place of grace 
But that I don't want to face a life time  disgrace.

The Rotten Lie

Apparently
I am jailed in the room
reading the books of haters
where I can see caterpillars
spreading on the grave
rotting.

I even heard voices
shouting from the pages 
the bourgeoisie are squeezed
cuddled by greedy mice 
narrating rotten lies.
