Escaping From American Prison's Poem by James McLain

Why would any one wish to stay
and live in abuse.
Eight out of ten
given life for murder whom
are placed within
have not before or there after
been convicted of a felony.
When the psychological
and physical abuse reaches
a certain level
it is well within the norm
to attempt to escape from it.
Then when one or two whom do
you are told by them
that they are to you dangerous.
Those doing the chasing appearing
not being to overly intelligent should cause
an intelligent person to ask
why are they being driven to acts
of violence
when they could be captured
later without putting you at risk.
Some just got the job and like to kill
and wait not you but them.
Remember who you are and why
some think that if all you wish to do
to them
if a life sentence is not enough
to do away with the death penalty.
