“Death In Prison”
Today I saw the death of a man
He fought back the attacker and made a stand
But the man who killed him wouldn’t be denied
The victim went down and slowly died…
Blood leaked from his body across the floor
Only his attacker knew what he died for
Through it all we stood there and stared
Our faces blank as if no one cared…
We cleared a path and the killer walked away
No one saw nothing is what we would say
Nurses brought a stretcher 3 hours later and the body disappeared
Towels and mops cleaned the blood like it was never there…
Death in prison is only a break in routine
Forgotten tomorrow, and back to the same old thing,
A cell was empty, but not for long,
Who will die next and be sent back home...???
