When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'
Matthew 25: 39

incarcerated in The Florida Department of Corrections:
R.E.A.L.
Life Can disappear in Less than a flash of light
When my Right went Left and my wrong Became Right
My Eyes were wide open But Blinded By the Night
My vision was so Limited, that virtue was out of sight
Praying to God to Save me from Evil which Had an Attraction on my soul
In a spiritual tug-of-war, if I survive will I still Be whole?
Why couldn’t I Remember the Lessons mommy gave me as a child
But I chose another Route that did make the Devil smile
My children Became Lost property as the Law Attempted to Harness me
Yet even in my Bondage I’m professing to Be free
Oh God, where did you go? I thought you’d Never leave my side
But I’m the one who departed as I Hitched Another Ride
Heaven was too far away, so Hell in now my Home
Blessings turn to Curses as I walk where Demons Roam
I’m Looking for a Savior – is He a myth? Can He be found?
Heading Towards the cross-road my hopes are lost Beneath the ground
Dear Lord I need you to help me, Cause I Can’t Help myself
I did not come to you willingly, it’s because I have nothing else.
My life-span is getting shorter as the grays pop up so quick
Why is wisdom and monotony Bringing me grief and making me sick?
I realize I’m not immortal – at Least Not in the flesh
I started out wanting good now I want Better to get to Best
Right now I don’t care about This Heaven for it I cannot see
I’m searching for a Companion who will walk out of Hell with me
My curiosity makes we wonder – what will Happen when Life is spent
Hoping I paid my Earthly mortgage And Have enough for my Heavenly Rent
I may Never make it back, but truth is Better than I Ever Dreamed
I pray my final paycheck will say
“Paid in Full – Your Soul’s Redeemed”
