The Sound Of Wings.....

from the bars of the cell, i learned freedom from the body. from the underside of the bridge, i learned home has not a house. from forty years of working, i learned the bitterness of the slave. from the political lies, i learned that truth cant be bought. from the books i read, i learned to reason and question. from the heroin needle, i learned the value of life. from love lost, i learned how to love. from doubt i learned seeking, in seeking i found god to be more. from the scars on my heart, i learned to be a man. from battles fought and lost, i learned the need for peace. from discrimination i learned equality, from anger i learned forgiveness. from the mirror i learned responsibility... from the bars of the cell, i learned the sound of wings!
