To the people who profit from the prison industrial complex, citizens especially people of color are worth a lot in dollars coming to prison than become law-abiding and free.
I am a people In the belly of the beast Free but vanguished Like a hen in a pen Watermark crossheirs On my forehead Tarries all day long Reminds me aloud I am dollar bills On the plates of Wardens In the coffers of my county On the slate shelfs Within high walls Crossheirs on GPS Reminds me softly My worthlessness As a doctor Or Dog catcher When I am free Dollar rain stops Who the hell am I
