    Tonight

    Bars on the windows

    Icicles on razor wire

    So damned cold

    Lights so bright

    Wish I'd done it different

    Wish I'd done it right.

    I think of home

    and close my eyes...

    Lord.

    Please be with them

    Tonight.

    Short, simple, to the point... A poem after my own heart. If a piece geets too lengthy , a reader may tire of it and never finsih, thus losing any message within the work itself. Excellent writing!

    Love it. Just as the tag says it really is thought provoking and I love how he regrets his actions. ShadowStealer

    The "he" was me. Wrote this in a cold dark prison cell.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
