Prison Yard Prayer 


I look to the heavens 
Begging for mercy 
Silent nights of bondage 
I need courage 
To seE me through the new day 
I get no pay 
As I grind these rock all day 
I’m ripped at the heart 
And clothes too 
I could’ve made an effort 
But I thought I had nothing lose
Now I’m here
And there’s nothing worse than 
Having less then nothing.
