"MENTAL SLAVERY IS MENTAL DEATH"

September 13, 2018 by San Quentin News Contributor

A MAN THAT GIVE UP HIS INTRECTUAL ALL FREEDOM IS THE LIVING COFFIN OF HIS DEAD SOUL

Some people say you have to hit bottom

Before you can rise to the top

Sometimes I fell as if

my descend will never stop,

Always looking around, to place the blame.

In order to side step and hide from the shame, I tell my self and believing its true,

That I can do this and there’s need for you,

So I go about my business,

as done in the past,

All the time knowing nothing for ever.

And not even this will last,

So here I am back one more,

With concert walls and Bar’s for a door,

But keep in mind,

So keep on keeping on,

Stay out of trouble and don’t know wrong,

but its most important for one to know,

That am only an actor in Gods show,

Time to open the door and let him in,

and without faith you can never win
