"A prisoner's Appeal"

Jossa Macascas 1987 (General Santos City)



"A Prisoner's Appeal"

Pieces of unanswerable questions playing in my mind was settled,
In this premises felt miserable when single starred given.
What could be possible tendencies might I've encounter?
With this called cursed placed for the other.
Is there any hope for me, could offer?
With this destined path I cross over.

Is it moments screen and tested?
Rather could be a mortgage of sin unconsciously taken,
Is it a way to open my eyes which very long time closed?
A questions that my systems regularly asking,
Hoping to catch a reason that could be served as medicine,
To ease the pain that my internal shouting.

Accused in a crime I've never committed,
Is making me fells tortured and deteriorated.
A moment of time which only proves the opinions of many,
A prisoner true to life sad story, not all had jailed were really guilty.

Such people's character was then I socialized,
Lots kind of crime I got understand,
A long, long story which is in everyone's hands.
Bringing in to my conclusion and said,
Ignorance of the law has no excused,
Which is innocent, never used.

A realization of being stuck up in a corner,
No hope for me could offer,
A 1,2,3,and many same kinds of life story,
It is somehow an inspiring tale to me.

Through the years have done,
Difficulties could never be gone,
Taking it as a challenge, one,
Instead of holding self-pity with sense has none,

I used my time to learn some kind of lesson able to teach this damn.
Accused criminals were majority small-time,
If not because of puberty,
It is a planted crime scene set up well who's in authority.
Many of prisoners judged as guilty,
It's between God and him can tell innocence and reality.
