Department of corrections
by Keith D AllisonRegistration number 159883
unit 4B-204
box number 78200
city of detention 809043
Whiskey whiskey
Sweet glass of wine
songs in the night
Crystal meth did hide
Days of cunning
the carnage
the peddling
of the Rose
Y6
Y2
the pains of remorse
closing of the bars
Days of denial
lonely echoes
alcohol, drug addiction
Will the heart bleed for a new home
Some say it will
others say same old story
the time ticks
waiting for parole

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 07/27/10 at 05:44 AM This is s stark view of the bare facts...straight from the underbelly,(or nearly any television or news show.) But, like you do so well, Keith, you bring a heart into the mix...images of a wondering humanity...the melencholy of disconnection and dysfunction. Well done (imho). Thanks. |

| Posted by George Hoerner on 07/27/10 at 02:32 PM A very good write. We put tags on everyone to protect ourselves from our phobias and see no dignity in those we lock away. If we keep it up, everyone will be on the inside looking out at no one. Let's draw the line a little closer to home. |
