Rage!

Rage 1/5/14

You rage at your life,
You hate all you know,
Your reason to live,
Was lost long ago.
The anger you shed,
Burns hot like the sun,
The more that it's fed,
The worse it becomes.

Like spitting at the sun,
Like spitting at the sea,
The fact your're angry,
Means nothing, you see.
Both the wise man and fool,
Can stop in their tracks,
Change why they hate,
And never look back.

The blind rage you fell,
Wasted just you,
Life isn't fair,
It's just up to you.
Take what it gives,
Give what it takes,
But never forget,
Your hate's your mistake.

Hatred and racial profiling amongst prisoners is a way of life behind these concrete walls. Your forced ?, mentally manipulated by your fellow man, have hate for another human being who eats, sleeps, breathes and bleeds just like you. Where is the humanity in that? Only belief in the ? can counteract the belief in this darkness.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope that it is okay. They have had problems with the scanner so it has cut off some of the words. I tried my best.
