Behind Bars
June 14, 2015
Cold metal constrictions
Silver chains connect
My two hands behind my back
Prisoner of my own game
Blue pants suits
And golden badges
Toughed up faces show
Rigid disapproval
Sirens wail
Flashing blue and red
Pristine white paint
Decorated nothingness
Yellow tape hiding
Yellow tape concealing
Yellow tape screaming
Gun spinning around
Bars slam
Bars rattle
Bars remind me
I am murder
