TRAPPED BEYOND THE GATES.

Prison...


Poem Artwork

Behold the Blackman that sits beyond the gates, for he has been convicted and sentenced with no release date. Restricted by laws, broken out of frustration, due to lack of love, respect and education.

Abused and misused since the beginning of time, there was no way of winning was implanted in his mind. He had no one to love him, no one to call his own, and no one informed him that he stands strong ALONE.

Theft and crime committed without a thought, but the truth of the matter is, he was never properly taught. That rules and regulations were guidelines and obligations that you were forced to obey or your freedom was taken away.

So today he faces the music, as played beyond the gates, and yet when he’s released, it still won’t be to late. To start life anew, and make footprints in the sand, your second time around strive to be a better man.

Get the wind beneath your wings and plant your feet on solid ground, there’s a lot of time to make up and lots of dreams to be found.

Be a father to your child and promote your girlfriend to your wife, take the time to make a difference, the difference in your life.

Forget all the negatives and remember nothing is free, always look in the mirror and say, “I believe in me.”

Make positive decision and discover your inner strength, take back your pride and dignity,
brother believe
in
yourself.
