Poetry By CAREY GRAYSON, Death Row, Alabama

WINDOWS

Windows of the soul
the eyes they never lie,
Weather glowing with life
or seeking to die;
The eyes hold the secrets
to every mans soul,
His pain, his fears
only the eyes know;
Windows to the soul
the eyes they will tell,
Gaze through the windows
and gain knowledge of my hell,
The windows once told
of happiness and gain,
But look through them now
And you see sadness and pain;
Windows of the soul
the eyes they have seen,
the dashing of hopes
the beginnings of dreams...

LAST WORDS

Take life from me
on this day of sorrow,
I do not wish to live
I will see no tomorrow;
All that I know
Turns black with my hate,
I give in to pain,
I yield onto fate;
Look unto me,
for death is my choice.
I fear not the wrath,
I lift up my voice;
Why all the pain ?
This you can't tell
So I say unto you now,
I await you in Hell ...
                                                            Carey Grayson 96.



OBLIVION

Yield to the darkness,
Set free your soul,
As deaths cloak surrounds you,
and life it lets go,
Pain it has vanished,
fears all unseen,
You part with your life
to live in the dream,
The doorway is open,
Death calls your name,
Step into the light,
forget all your pain;
Fight it no lober,
the dead it is done,
As you let go your life,
All hail sweet Oblivion ! !

HATE

You ask what I'm thinking,
you beg me to tell,
But you don't wish to know,
you can't handle my hell;
Look through my eyes,
see the disease,
In my world hate rules,
demons do as they please;
You think that I like you,
you think that I care,
But inside I'm just waiting,
to die red your hair;
One day I'll show you,
what goes on in my head,
But you'll never see it,
for that day your dead;
But just for the moment,
I'll sit here and wait,
And think up new ways
to show you my hate . . . .

THE LIE

The preachers lie, The apostles Tale,
follow God or burn in Hell;
Don't drink, don't smoke, don't fuck your wife,
The path to righteousness is a hellish life,
Slip from the path and your soul is lost,
Don't know if it's real but the chance will cost;
Jesus saves he knows our hearts,
But where's he at when trouble starts ? ;
So take my advice and live life well,
Cause the life of a Christian is worse than Hell !
