UNTITLED FROM FT. MAD

September 25, 2018 by San Quentin News Contributor

They say I’m the killer

Convicted of murder

But steel curtains

Have taken the life

Of my dreams and future

This is the diary of a madman

In an institution

They gave me a slow death sentence

But called it life

They took my future

But gave me time

They never ascertained my state of mind

Was I insane yet sane enough to lie.
