The Prisoner Poem by Augustus Billy Mutebesi

The Prisoner



These times are hard,
Bitter and sour.
That is all to say I had
At that hour.
These times are hard,
Bitter and sour...

And they pad the locks
And go laughing-
Thinking I want free...

Earth was a throw of rocks,
Dust in form of nothing.
To free is to slave
For time and choice and chance.

Death pads the locks,
And go laughing.
Thinking i want free
