Prison


Prison 
A Cage, where patience is built
A cage where delighted thought are locked 
A cage that is as dark as a deep well
A gloomy, lonely and empty 
 
No man, guiltless should be in the cage
But life is unfair and it blows away our dreams as they were air
 
7AM batons banging against the bars of the cage
A routing that has no scape 
A constant reminder of how the system fail  
A reminder of how black still considered a damage color 
People who work as equal to white but still face discrimination 
 
Think, how they may be, locked in a cage where light is barley in 
Stop discriminating for their skin, 
either their believe 
or the hood they grew up in
 
Stop, Stop , Stop
Incarcerating people of dark skin
Just for the believe that they are on illegal things 
And let's just be in peace 
Equality is the key
