Gun towers, barb wire, concrete
And fear,
They seem to fade away
Around this time of year.
Just when this world
seems to tear you apart
Let us hold Christmas time
close to our heart.
thoughts of Christmas
Are warm and sentimental
even the guards
are less temperamental
for doing hard time
to joy and good cheer
let us all get along
as we bring in the new year.
Poem By Gary Valentine.
