Nice Things Shared Behind The Bars:

From De'anna Tha' Doll by Derrick Tucker (author's profile)

Transcription

Poem #3; August 20th, 2013
Nice things shared behind the bars:

The males, I've met throughout
the jails and prison systems that
are selfless towards others, they
have always had a little something
to give:
A verbal story, a nice book, a rap song,
a good joke to make me laugh,
a listening ear. Compassion when I am
hurting. A lie told to protect us from
an act of danger.
Plus, a nice gift of canteen food
items, to eat at night before bed time.

It's always those little things in life, which others selflessly provide us, that make it all the more bearable.
