Suzanna Chevalier Poems

In a highly evolved society
sheriffs would have a different function.
People would already be healed from dysfunction.
People would have a higher Consciousness
...

After getting to work my manager called
She said she saw my mug shot and all.
She said “I was the sweetest person on the planet
Besides Tom that she knew
...

For the ones who have used guns to harm another human being
They should be in holding rooms to be accountable
To start seeing:
How their behavior does not solve
...

Wouldn’t it be grand
if giving handprints was a sign of originality
across jail intake land?
Instead of identifying them as a defendant
...

In a highly evolved society
police or sheriffs would not be a necessity.
People would have a higher Consciousness
our whole society would be in Oneness.
...

I thank the bonds people for letting me pay the next day
I bless them as well they deserve a lot of praise.
It is not easy being in the inside—
Feeling a lot of despair
...

On the east side of the Palm Beach County Jail
there are inmates that feel they have failed.
Not only are they locked inside—they can’t play
play basketball let alone see the light of day.
...

A highly evolved being would give its life
if you wanted to kill this being with a gun or a knife.
A highly evolved being would not shoot back
for it knows it’s soul lasts and lasts.
...

Angels are with me when I walk through the jail at night
I have positive thoughts that encase me in their light.
I have to look forward to getting out on bond
I know being in here was for me to see beyond—
...

Who is to change the system?
I ask you this…
The answer is:
ALL OF US.
