BEHIND THESE PRISON WALLS

Behind these prison walls I live
Metallic bars of defeat nailed deep
Beyond these prison walls my dignity
Iron-barred justice, lost impunity
To court with crime is to court with the law
Actions done in minutes punished in years and more

Behind these prison walls I breathe
Calculated puffs of air been given life
Beneath this brave face is one of fear
Concealed thoughts on my mind I bear
Graduated law school and passed the bar
So I stay put behind like a parking car

Behind these prison walls I dream
The body captured but the mind is free
Within this prisoner a heart of change
A man ready to redeem his face and name
To be criminal means to love the crime
Criminal to citizen means you served your time
