Based on the movie, "Misery"
Here I've remained, within these walls, locked up tight.
Due to repayment of someone else's fraudulent history.
The "friend" to me that forces monetary collection from guilt
from my pockets
to his
based on his "suffering."
Based on mine, being weighed as "unworthy to be heard"
Here I  remain, dying  inside until such "debt is paid"
While the most so-called" admirable people" are able to get away with such
People like me are scolded and beaten to the ground
Since people like us are "not worth much."
People should all be weighed in
to be equal.
The shackles of slavery are never just
Even though one is convicted of a crime in which he had  never committed
It's the status of this person
in society
that always allow  such horrendous actions upon
to be permitted.
