Alcatraz Haikus

Moonlight rains into

The windows of Alcatraz

At night we are gone

 

Rage and anger lift

Above walls so strong so thick

Meal time get your plate

 

Plate used every day

Has seen every food they serve

After but two days

 

The drug lords reign here

The killers keep to themselves

I talk to no one

 

The walls find my way

To the chain link barrier

The blood stings my palms

 

Running father now

Reality then hits me

Life is now defined

 

I live every day

Just a convict on the run

A killer on the run
