Prison System
The Prison System
The Prison system is derived on a vast of definitions
What you may call your prison, is my freedom
Life is prison
We are chained to an Iron Ball, whether you know it or not
You may call it your spouse,
Job, or that money you never see from your check
because the billing company eats it before 12:02 a.m.
You are upset, frustrated, mad
And what do You say?
Life isn’t fair
You get trapped in solitary confinement for your unruly behavior
Now your restraint is beyond just restraint
You are placed in a white jacket and a mask
You are not a doctor going in to surgery
You, my friend, are worse than that prisoner
You are now a prisoner of your own entity
Your mind cannot even escape the white cushioned walls
That it portrays as pillows to finally make its great escape
Your mind is now an enemy trying to kill You in its effort for freedom
You get retrained on striving to be free
But I,
Oh I
Don’t see the metal bars that stop me in my track
I see the open spaces in between the bars as opportunities for freedom
I have no problem being stuck in a box
As long as it’s a 4,000 sq. ft. box with hot pockets in the frig
And a man cave.
My life is a prison
This prison, however, will come with a/c and heated floors
I don’t mind being chained to an iron ball
As long as I have a butler to carry it when I walk.
I am not a pick pocket, I am a heavy hitter.
My maximum security prison is fully enforced
With meat eating dogs
A mine field
And cameras I can view with my phone
The longer my sentence in this prison,
The heavier my iron ball gets
Welp, I guess its time for two butlers,
I am sentenced to death.
