“Prisons by Stewart Stafford There are prisons of bars and jailers, There are dungeons of the mind, And of family blackmailers. Some sit manacled in a marriage cell, Thunderous isolation next door, All aflame in loveless hell. Misery, with no parole in poverty's trap, While in privileged ivory towers nearby, Elite confinement in luxury's lap. Inmates break free to a new golden age, Other jailbirds await merciful luck, Destined never to escape the cage. © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved.” — Stewart Stafford
Prisons by Stewart Stafford
There are prisons of bars and jailers,
There are dungeons of the mind,
And of family blackmailers.
Some sit manacled in a marriage cell,
Thunderous isolation next door,
All aflame in loveless hell.
Misery, with no parole in poverty's trap,
While in privileged ivory towers nearby,
Elite confinement in luxury's lap.
Inmates break free to a new golden age,
Other jailbirds await merciful luck,
Destined never to escape the cage.
