Institutionalized
Watching movies like “The Shawshank Redemption”, “The Inside Man” and “Prison Break” makes me think about Prison life. I took most of the words from “The Shawshank Redemption” for this work below.
Institutionalized
Naked and bared,
They marched me in.
Carelessly they stared,
At my wicked sin.
Like the day I was born
I’m bare-naked to skin
Couldn’t hear the foul scorn
Couldn’t see the genuine grin
My old life is already gone
As those bars slammed home.
Sent piercing cold to my bone
My new life in a small dome.
My judgement is my strife
My endurance is what I fake
When they send you here for life…
That’s exactly what they take.
Geology will be a friend.
For those who likes to endure.
Geology helps to understand,
The service of time and pressure.
These walls are really funny,
Hate them at first, used to them later.
You’ll depend on them finally,
When you’re “Institutionalized” forever.
