Jailed

by jamaal-j-ferguson

Im serving lifes with this pen/ Convicted for Killing time Im Eternally trapped within/ For my sins Solitarily confined In these lines where do I begin/ Can you read between them It never ends/ The margin is marginal/ Carte blanch Ive over stepped my boundaries Broke the rule cardinal/ Now Im in an invisible/ cell feeling miserable/ My time shouldve been More productive This is NA Not Applicable/ 23 hours in the whole Lost ours in part Another 60 gone/ Thought is food scarf down words/ Appetite absurd clearly just observe/ work the mind Stay fit/ only way to survive inside Mental aerobics Various signs/ Shape it chin up chin down equals a syllable/ My own worst enemy My dictions despicable/ Train everyday to enhance Considerable/ For I know never leaving These sentences for life/ Are habitual/ Even before I got booked They extradited my freedom/ The right to write When I tried to free lance I was just free writing/ They cuffed my free hands Life sentence to this pen Now they want my annihilation Too many things gone missing punctuations
