Array ( [sid] => 2454 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Days Till The End [time] => 2002-08-19 10:06:57 [hometext] => Wrote this poem after watching a movie on Prison life. Funny how things come to you. [bodytext] => DAYS TO THE END

The days are counting down until my doom,
sitting in this cell, is more like a tomb.
Sentenced less then a year ago to death,
my body is shutting down from the lack of rest,
I知 cold and I知 shaking from head to toe,
no relief for my mind, from the facts that it knows.
the crime I知 paying for with my life,
was one I created with my own devise,
I steer at the ceiling by day, cry most of the night,
not having the will or strength to continue to fight.
Taking of a life, was not the thrill I thought it might be,
as I watched a innocent man struggle to breathe,
Watching the life, drain from his eyes,
I knew I created my own demise.
And now the walls are coming in all around me,
and it痴 I, who now struggles to breathe.
The crime I committed, has caused a family great pain,
I know now, their lives will never be the same.
I await my executioner, whomever it might be,
an eye for an eye, for my victims family to see.

DAYS TO THE END

The days are counting down until my doom,
sitting in this cell, is more like a tomb.
Sentenced less then a year ago to death,
my body is shutting down from the lack of rest,
I知 cold and I知 shaking from head to toe,
no relief for my mind, from the facts that it knows.
the crime I知 paying for with my life,
was one I created with my own devise,
I steer at the ceiling by day, cry most of the night,
not having the will or strength to continue to fight.
Taking of a life, was not the thrill I thought it might be,
as I watched a innocent man struggle to breathe,
Watching the life, drain from his eyes,
I knew I created my own demise.
And now the walls are coming in all around me,
and it痴 I, who now struggles to breathe.
The crime I committed, has caused a family great pain,
I know now, their lives will never be the same.
I await my executioner, whomever it might be,
an eye for an eye, for my victims family to see.

It's sad to think that this is going on everyday, Our prisons are so full of those who just wait, thinking of the wrongs they commited and know they must pay one way or another. Sad thing indeed.
Great poem

Wow! Very intense!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ツゥ
