Suzanna C Chevalier Poems

Pray for inmates walking to court in chains
chains around their ankles they do feel pain.
How does this affect the human psyche?
Are we making them more like criminals
...

So much negativity in the world till this day
Why bring more in a place filled with disgrace?
Give inmates hope, inspiration and belief
that they can overcome their behaviors
...

Red haired girl walks in the room
I smell her fragrant flowery perfume
Jumps on phone making all calls
I sit there in listen freezing off my ___.
...

I will always remember her smile till this day
I felt so much happiness brought my way.
At first when I met her she was crying and sad
she was making the most on the cold bench that she had.
...

You can’t take away inmates inner lives
their good feelings, thoughts and
soul makes them thrive.
Their spirit is lessoned and forced to the ground
...

Now I know May West was a light worker who had to go in
to see how women weren’t clean and had no good sanitation.
Yes, she was arrested for something so benign
just like me but we were asked from the divine.
...

She can write, she can draw
She can even talk Melodie Mezoree' doll.
What else can she do?
If only I could sing a tune
...

The world is filled with Kings and Queens,
Along with many other wonderful things,
That delight you eyes and makes you sing
Of happy songs and merry things.
...

Cry for the children who can not cry
who feel emptiness and sadness
deep inside.
Dare they cry out
...

Doing what matters most
for I am still human, I’m not a ghost.
“You are Oneness, Consciousness and Bliss”
I kept repeating this.
...
