In Jail for life
You didn’t listen to the Lawyer giving advice
All you do is stare at the Cell walls
Within the Jail Cell, it is you and a stall
Through the Jail Cell Window, you see the night Moon and Stars
You visualize your life living on Mars
Your life now is no longer your own
Your name in society is no longer full blown
A letter and numbers represent you are an inmate
Jail is now your fate
You write letters to family for inspiration
You are trying to compose communication
You pray for wisdom and understanding
But you are in a situation
You are God’s creation
The Devil wants you to reflect condemnation
Other Inmates see you as a failure and loser
You made mistakes
The thought of it makes your body shake
Jail is no joke
Your mind is fighting revoke
Your punishment is rebuke
Awakening Jail
It’s the place where you will get your mail
So now you want to sleep
You will be soul deep
No answer when you will get out
Life in prison is your bout
