    the system

    4 walls,1 door,1 toilet,2beds,1 sink,1 mirror
    2 lives,but in here they've both led,
    to a life with no freedom,
    to be a slave who doesn't have to work,
    the plan is to punish without pain,
    but the truth is it still hurts,
    your charged with one crime,
    but you'll be punished three times,
    caged like an animal,branded wit a record,
    and slapped with huge fines,
    sounds like triple jeopardy,and not to me only,
    i write from experience,
    not from what someone told me,
    some places charged you to be held,
    and with that i'm astonished,
    they were deceitful to catch you,
    but your expected to be honest,
    expect to lose weight from the meals,
    even thoe your fed three times a day,
    cause you'll be treated like a kid in school,
    wit empty spots on your tray,
    so much advances in technology,and the way that we live,
    but little has changed with the punishment the government gives,
    so as i lay in my cell,on a worn out mat,on top of cement,
    i await to be released to a sun i miss feelin,
    i await the denial of jobs because of my record,
    await the garnishment of my wages because of my fines,
    await the changes of people i love,while i was confined,
    i'm not for certain crimes without punishment,
    because some form is needed,
    buts whuts been goin on for years,is out of control,cruel,
    i can hardly believe it,
    but as always someday,Truth B Told,then u forget and move on to
    whut the future hold
