CDCR! C is for choices, D is for your decisions,
C is for consequences, R is for the repercussions up in prison.
You decided to break the law, the money you couldn't resist.
Now you're in a patrol car, with cuffs on your wrists.
Why you letting them win? Robbing people for their gold.
What were you thinking bout? Know you are on parole.
Already got a leash on your neck, you already did 10.
Your choices and decisions, put you back in the pen.
Whatever you do, for whatever action you take,
it's consequences and repercussions another bid you'll make.
Stuck in a prison cell, thinkin how you messed up.
Know the judicial system you just left, is so damn corrupt.
Life is at a halt, now you wanna rededicate your life.
You can do that, but guess what? It's your third strike.
You can ask for forgiveness, and call on the Lord,
Praying they'll release you, when you go before the board.
They look over your file, see you weren't disciplinary free,
haven't rehabilitated yourself, and they dent you for 3.
Now you're older, your mind has been transformed.
Now you wanna be a mentor, so other kids you can warn.
Tell them what prison is like, and what you'll go through,
tell them to stay out of trouble, or they'll get you!
For every action, there's a reaction, even a cause,
stay out of CDCR! That's where you go, when you break the law!

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. You're very creative, LeVar. I'd like to help you get your story out by sharing some of your pieces with kids at the school where I volunteer. And I know that when you are on the other side of the bars, you'll be reaching out and sharing your story to help prevent kids from making the same mistakes. Stay Strong!

Hi LeVar! Your response to me was posted on May 10th, so I'm just now getting back to you. I will transcribe the other poems you posted to your blog, and I'm happy to have some new material to share with the kids. I'm sorry that the communication via blogging only gets transmitted monthly. If you find yourself waiting, don't feel forgotten!
