When it comes to recognizing faults,

No one ever see’s their own!

Perhaps they’re to busy trying to

Rationalize their history of doing wrong!

Many sit in Judgment of others “Hoping

To erase all signs of their Humanity;

But Hatred and Preconceived-Notions permeate The Views and hearts of most in Society!

The so-called Educated people make

Uneducated-decision all the time;

It’s evident in the Criminal Justice

System on both sides of Crime;

Under the guise of a fair trial,

The “Accused” are paraded into court.

While the judge, D.A> jury and

Defense Counsel play the room like a Sport;

Repeatedly saying “Ignorance is no excuse!

By Anthony Cain #AC1059

fallow me,

you will see,

you can be,

as happy,

as anybody,

you can’t complain,

of your endless pain,

of cloudy ways,

rainy day’s will turn

to colorful plains,

over a hill I see,

a truth behind,

that darkness I see,

a truth behind,

that darkness I see,

that is meant for me,

a hard truth hit’s me,

to know,

what a fool I’ve been,

to think a world of sin,

would let me be happy again,

to be lied to once again,

and start from this

end.

Your honor, I am an attorney

And my clients is the earth

She has been always mistreated

And neglected from her birth.

And I am pleading her case

In this court, today, your honor

One of her lungs can’t be cured

And we are looking for a donor

Otherwise she could be dead

By next summer or spring

And you and I will not be able

To cut flowers or to sing.

AS you can see she’s very fragile

She’s not that strong anymore

She can’t live like that much longer

Though she still answers the door.

So ‘m asking you, your honor,

For some wise justice on her name

And who else could we blames?

If you ever came into prison

Listen carefully to what I’ll say

You forever will be sorry

Ands will say day after day.

Ph, my God, why did I do it?

It doesn’t matter what yu did

And if you though you were something

Here you’ll cry just like a Kid.

I myself live that experience

Which for Mr. was something new

But it is something, Oh my brother

That I will never wish for you.

I have spent my life trying to die slow, but live fast. I never took the

Time to smell the roses of my memories past. I strived for a piece of.

The American Dream, but my peace didn’t last.

Justice system without one fatality. Trapped, forever slowly losing my

Mortality, and constantly stripped of all morality, so I push the concert,

Floor just to kept off the brutality.

I am guilty of being naive, blinded by slick talking lawyers and the

Tricks up their sleeves, saying you’ll be home in 6 months if you just take

The Plea, but I had no idea they would lose the key.

It’s a game I can’t win, so I accept defeat, no family to go back to except.

The people on the street. Now my heart is as hard as the calais on my

Feet, and  a smile that never shows from the loss of my teeth. So prison

has become my vacation retreat. Not much has changed, but the young faces

I meet, who will die in search of this American Dream.
