Freedom Behind Bars- [A Letter To My Wife From Jail] Dammy, I looked in the bathroom mirror today, and I saw my hairs turning grey. I have somethings to tell you, my gift on Christmas Day. Dammy, there is a hidden part of every one of us, that we spend our whole lives looking for. It has not a name,and can never be described in a way. Hidden,yet thrashing against the walls,a screaming voice. Dammy, I know you stare at the moon,smell in the dew. But have you found the hidden part in you? The part that makes you human,makes you fulfilled. Yesterday,I was a convicted felon,today I made a breakthrough. Dammy, Open eyed yet I was too blind to see. Now I've found the hidden part of me. I've found the joy that remains, when freedom ran and ceased to be a friend,for me. Dammy My music,the heavy 'clang clang' of locks, and play,when Skuka pulls his violent stunts. But everyday my freedom multiplies,doubles and remains. When I remember dying here before my 100 years long. Dammy Now never you try to remember my cuddles or my kisses. My roses, my perfumes or the promises and all this Christmas Day feelings. Cos I am free now I am free. Free as a rain drop,when it leaves its mother,the sky, falling. Dammy Never you try to call my words balderdash,for they have a meaning. The meaning of a sentence,but prolonged by a prisoners writing. Cos I am free now I am free Steel bars are not really there when you pretend not to see. Dammy So join me now,to chant a freedom rhyme. With a soothing rythm,we make a toast with glasses of wine. To freedom and freedom,behind steel bars. Cos the bars are never there,when I close my eyes. "In prison, those things withheld from and denied to the prisoner become precisely what he wants most of all." Eldridge Cleaver Cc: gottoboy 1 Like 2 Shares |
