Brendan Curran with a poem from his expansive body of work.

 Prison Of The Mind 

Stone walls all around
Large gates that crash and sound
Barbed wire hanging down
Prison life
♞♜♝
Living in your head
A sanctuary in your bed
Alone, your heart is bled
Prison life
♞♜♝
The noise behind the door
The footsteps on the floor
Abusive shouts galore
Prison life
♞♜♝
They boot in your cell door
They beat you on the floor
They shout “do you want more”?
Prison life
♞♜♝
The haters all around
The wing with not a sound
In memories you drown
Prison life
♞♜♝
You cannot see the door
Stuck here for ever more
Your Heart sinks and it soars
Prison life
♞♜♝
When the day of freedom comes
Your despised by the scum
Who treated your pain as fun
Prison life
♞♜♝
Your footprints there no more
As you float towards the door
Hate and abuse no more
freedom time
