By Horace Thomas

The world I live in

is a concrete cell

up above is heaven

below is hell…

It’s merely a plot of land

where souls are captured

like pirates out to sea

who missed the rapture…

In another sense a circus

all sorts of whims

not a groovy aspect of life

but it’s own dangerous realm…

Prison is a town

a torn bitter place

scars affect the mind

no time can erase!

Mental combat

physical war

pushed beyond a limit

too much is how far?
