Though the waves of harsh reality crash
down onto me again and again...
I shall not waver - fall back nor give
in...
For within me burns the light of truth
that
I have been falsely accused...
Left to endure imprisonment, tortured
of soul
And mentally abused...
My only true crimes were ignorance,
confusion
poverty, and trust in one undeserving...
For 2 decades I have fought for my
life,
sanity, and to remain a human being...
I still feel pain - joy - sadness and
indignities,
And such a deep sense of being alone...
Yet these emotions serve to remind
me that I am
still alive inside. And that
this cage is not my home...
Tho sometimes I want to scream out,
how much more
must I endure; how much more can I
take...
Yet, I know the answer is till justice
is done -
freedom won and I walk out of these
prison gates...
or till the final blow of injustice
falls - my life taken
and this light of truth burns no more...
There is no middle ground, and I shall
endure
till one fate or the other becomes
my cure...
And if in the end I fail to find justice
And freedom is denied me...
It shall not be because I gave up
nor found lacking by any degree...
But rather because I was placed in
a game
not of my choice, where I never had
a chance
to win...
Even then I will know the truth - that
the
deck was stacked, and the only road
I was
given - led to a dead end...
