Jail Rhymes With Hell Poem by Hebert Logerie

Jail rhymes with hell
I don't think that's a coincidence
Let me ring your bell
Wake up from your nonsense
I saw a movie about many inmates
In a Texas jail. Let me tell you
That animals are treated better
Than humans who've made a few
Mistakes in their lives, where their fates
Are sad, miserable and bitter
Jail rhymes with Hell
For many unknown reasons
Having four adults in one small cell
Is like having sardines in the cans
Hell is nowhere else, but here
In jail, where live angst, sadness and fear.
