A life like mine in the one constant thing that I know, it will never change. |
-Still Permanent- by Keaton Foster Forever enshrined Doing hard time An animal in his cage There will be no escape No early release Good behavior Is no option There is just inside And out Nothing between Still permanent Born into chaos Brought up in madness Lent to the wickedness Of our species I’ve done terrible things Most for survival Some to feel alive Holding me here Justifiable indeed No one has ever said I’m proud of you No one ever confessed I love you no matter what No one has ever claimed me As flesh and blood I’ve been alone From creation Though gestation Beyond indoctrination And now incarceration I have no one to call mine No other beings alive To come here and say You will live to see Another day Outside this prison This gated residence For hopelessly insane Madmen with agendas Written in flesh and blood Still permanent I will never see light Only darkness I will never feel warmth Only bitter cold I will never hold Any person close I am too much of a risk Forever enshrined Doing hard time An animal in his cage There will be no escape No early release Good behavior Is no option There is just inside And out Nothing is in between Still permanent That is the way it is The way it has been It will never change As long as I’m living… Still Permanent Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
