CAGED
Horror and pain
of my life
rides the winds of
my sleeping mind
Shivering awake
I stare and wonder
looking out at the prison yard
amidst the razor-wire fence
How can
this unconscionable evil be
How long will
this injustice and wanton
sacrifice of human life
go unanswered and unrevenged And how long will
the thunder clouds
of my soul
hold back the
volcanic eruption of my anger
Which sunrise
will bring my rescue
And evaporate this
ugly nightmare from me
Just another surviving night
awakening to the sickening smell
of my painful unhappiness
Tormented and burning
wishing
hoping
trusting
for the wings of justice
to flutter free
the horrible
wrongs done to me
