Angels , COVERED

Verlene Y Tyree 1963 (Chicago)



Security grabbed me
Spun me around
Put restrainers on my legs and wrist
Then laid me down

I started to plea
No human heard my cry
I had to use the bathroom
They’re ignoring me, why?

Something told me
That I could slip the restrainers off
Now move very slowly
Don’t open your mouth

I relieved myself
Got back on that bed
Didn’t feel any anger
Just gratitude instead

Looked up at the Lord
And simply nodded my head.
C O V E R E D !

About this poem

There was a mistake on my wording. Restrainers instead of retainers. Oops
