POETRY

June 4, 2012 by San Quentin News Contributor

Unchain
By Keung Vanh

Innocents at play, until life at stake
death came knocking, and almost collected
only to be saved, by a black silhouette
given a new life, by the two face gavel
a new life, too unworthy
for a life taken, and a life given
a token is certain, but not concrete
for no blood on my hands, but my shoulders cakes of crimson paint
years I intend to give, years I’m willing to offer
for wrinkles shall be pure, for death shall be pleasant
