Fancy shirts are not
Made for construction arms
Bulging sausage case.
Any movement both
Politics and religion
Is based on changing
Why so often then
Do we refuse to believe
That people can change?
We tether people
To their past, good or bad, and
Fail to see present
Perhaps some do not
Change because they cant see that
narrative exists
If we hope for a
Better world, we hope for change
In the world’s people
Felony status
Prolongs alienation
Hurts people badly
Restore all rights or
Better yet do not take them
Away in first place
We need all voices
To be heard, truly heard and
This includes felons
When time has been served
People should be able to
Be actually free
Seriously yall
Haikus on prison are hard
Too many big words
Recidivism
results from society’s
failure to function
Justice means access
To jobs, food, housing and health
This includes felons
VCU should hire
Felons because everyone
Deserves decent jobs
