Felons. In-sane asylum In-mates they Cry-numb, Locked up & chained down Boxed in & caged out, Clipped wings no escape route, My birds all bagged up. Cold cells Colder souls, Infinite in numbers Stacked up like vegetables Squashed up cucumbers.... 9 inch 11 shanks Leaving Fatal infections, Indefinite detentions & Lethal injections Can't breathe There is no air Nowhere to sit Except the electric chair Can't see the sky either Yet I feel the Thunder! Death penalty A mere formailty To go Beyond the stars With my brothers in arms, To Join them in that Deep-deep slumber.

Death penalty A mere formailty To go Beyond the stars With my brothers in arms, To Join them in that Deep-deep slumber.
