Poem Commentary

Last July 8th, 2009 I was locked up for six months. Everyday some bodies name was being called to go home. And everyday I wished it was me. So I just decided to write a poem about it. Its nothing like hearing them words "One way", "Pack up", Or "Timed Served".

"Timed Served"

Two words,
One day,
For months,
I've prayed,

These words,
I wait,
To hear,
Them say,

Two times,
One day,
Either or,
One way,

One judge,
One me,
One time,
To plee,

Two roads,
One's free,
So I pleed,
Guilty,

My sentence,
More time,
I serve,
Whats mine,

For months,
I prayed,
One day,
Two words,

One day,
One guard,
One voice,
I heard,

Lets go,
Pack up,
One way,
"TIME SERVED"
