Life Behind Bars
Reliving that very moment
When you caught some years followed with an "L"
Watching the gavel hit the stand
As the judge sentenced you to life in jail
Now you have a new family
Ones you could never trust
Imagine living a life
When its one down and one up
There's often rising tension
So thick you could cut it with a knife
What decisions will you make
When its a toss up between his and your life
Never again to kiss a girl
Never to lay by her side
Never to have complete rest
All you have are your dreams at night
Nights are the only peace you do get
Gazing out your window lost amongst the stars
This is just another day
Of a man with Life Behind Bars.
About the Creator

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
