I met a man
Locked up when he was only fifteen
For the next 16 years
He only knew the Pen
He worked hard when they let him go
Day and night just trying to cope
In a "Just" system unknown
Never prepared for society's blow
Institution rules applied no more
For months he tried he didn't give up
Doing more than the average does
But eventually society won
He took a life and now
Life without parole
This man worked hard to get the job done
But now he becomes
Another of society's lost souls

I write songs and poetry. I try to see things in a different light from the "Enemies" perspective. I feel that understanding a person's story makes the world a better place.
