Think it out, so much to plan
But if not you, another man
So this task now has come to you
You'll need good strategy, see it through
A million fell whilst making plans
They thought they had a billion fans
Yet somehow when a need arose
The fans had gone, away life flows
So liquid can this life become
Without the focus known by some
Take charge then, which will you now be
A mind with cloud or clarity?
The road is wide, the traffic wild
It's just no place to leave a child
You won't last long if you can't see
The other side, where you will be
So watch your vision and see it's strong
Don't fret when endless things go wrong
For when the strategy serves the goal
You rise with power from life's black hole

Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
