Death Row

[Sandy]

Death Row was once just a place to me
Where society left its troubles,
For no one to see...

A place of personal tragedy
No good to be found, only misery

Death Row was where hatred dwelled
In murderous hearts,
Condemned to hell...

A place I imagined where time stood still
No future, no dreams, for those who had killed.

Until one day when I looked in
And found looking back, the eyes of a friend

A man with a heart
And a mind to match mine.
A poet, and artist, a lover of life
A man who once led a life of crime

Death Row now has a face and a name,
A voice to point out Society’s shame

That we throw away people
And never look back
To see if just one might get back on track

That we don’t step in; let love work its way
Into souls that need healing
And hearts that need faith.
