                 Hate Factory
                                             (Written in prison)
 
                            Hello, it’s me once again,
                             The man you put away.
 
                               You put me in hell,
                           To try and make me pay.
 
                         I have seen the hate of man,
                       While my brothers waste away.

                              The life within is short,
                              We can all die any day.
 
                              It’s the law of the land,
                        Fall weak and you should die.
 
                      If only we could have a new life,
                         I just don’t understand why.
 
                          I have seen good men die,
                        That were good to their word.

                     I have seen men come in as boys,
                            Only to leave being girls.

                         How much must we suffer,
                               Before it’ll all end?

                             For I am only a man,
                           In this hate factory land.

                     (Wish for each other)

                         I wish that there was no densely
                          Populated area. Why? Because
                           A densely populated place is
                              No fun to people who live
                             In densely populated area.
 
 
                     (A wish for my Mom)

                              I wish that my Mom had
                           Anything that she wanted to
                           Have. Why? Because she is
                                    A good Mother.
 
                    (A wish for all people)

                            I wish that all people had
                           Good health. Why? Because
                            If I had wish that all people
                          Had money what about there
                              Health money cannot by
                                         Everything
