A blank piece of paper is God’s way of telling us how hard it is to be God. — Sidney Sheldon
When I Wake Up
When I wake up ,I find myself in an environment
That’s so different from the one I once knew.
I find that I’ve not merely traveled out of society,
But to a place no one warned me about.
I collect my thoughts for a moment
While gazing from the window of my cell.
The rain-slicked razor wire in front of the house unit
Is being cleaned again by nature.
I never fail to be surprised by the same landscape
Time and time again.
Just as I perceive this,
Suddenly the texture of reality has changed once more.
It’s as if the transition from society
Has been nonstop to this Satan’s cave.
Here is where I dwell.
In a momentary lapse of reason.
“Come with me, and you will be, in a land full of imagination…”
If You Want to See Paradise (Don’t Ask me for a Picture)
Poem by incarcerated member Vylet
Yeah, I know you want something a little more upbeat.
And all my poems are sad.
I’d write about being happy more often,
If I were happy more often. eee, Gad!
But for you, let me try this.
It’s no big deal.
For you, I will write
What I do not feel.
With imagination it’s easy.
Word play I create.
A mind set to set minds.
In a World. Realist. State.
Happy happy joy joy.
Ahhh, forget this.
What do you want from me?
My heart is dark as midnight
And only death holds the key.
I hate people. I hate life.
I wish death, I stir strife.
I talk proper and fool people.
Sophisticated learned evil.
I wasn’t always full of resentment.
Bitterness and sorrow
Pain and depression.
But that story will not be told,
This morning or after lunch.
Use your imagination
And make one the hell up.
Ah yes, I imagine and daydream it’s true
That one day I won’t have to imagine
What it’s like to be happy
And happily write a poem for you
