An Eye-Opening Collection of Poems and Commentary
By Various Prisoners
By A.K.A. Carrisa
I Didn’t Know
I did not know what he had in the trunk
But when I found out I thought that I would pass out
We’re riding on interstate ten
It’s pouring down rain
As we turned off the car did a spin
Patrol cars are on our tailgate there is a road block now it’s too late
We was pulled over by cops
When they searched the trunk I prayed that my heart string would not pop
I couldn’t stand the sight
I had to drop my head
What I saw was his wife and little baby dead
The cops looked at me with a questioning look
I said I didn’t know that I was riding with a crook
Fred confessed to the police that he killed them both
And I had nothing to do with it
I didn’t even know
Fred is now on death row
I was never charged because I Didn’t Know
Prison Faces
Anywhere from eighteen to eighty years old
Prisons don’t discriminate about who goes beyond its doors
Wheelchairs, walkers and canes
People talking to themselves totally insane
One arm, no arms without hands or legs
The blind, cripples and the crazy
Those are just some of the prison faces
Hardworking mother and father, doctors, nurses and lawyers
Some of the people committed no crime at all
In several cases whole families took a fall
Now they’re all locked up because chino wanted to ball
And that’s certainly not right they were charged with conspiracy and sentenced to life
These are just some things that take place when you look into a prison face.

Capitol Murder
Blood everywhere as I went down the stairs
The room looked dark and gloomy
Something like a scary movie
An arm there and a leg still in the chair
A foul odor in the air in the bedroom we used to share
What I seen was so unfair my husbands’ naked body sitting in a chair
A woman dressed as a whore kneeled down on the floor
I guess she was sucking his dick
When she got her wig split
Now I’m vomiting because I’m sick
This had to be a hit
They killed my husband and that Bitch
That’s something that will completely disturb you
Being a witness of a Capitol Murder
Blood everywhere as I went down the stairs
The room looked dark and gloomy
Something like a scary movie
An arm there and a leg still in the chair
A foul odor in the air in the bedroom we used to share
What I seen was so unfair my husbands’ naked body sitting in a chair
A woman dressed as a whore kneeled down on the floor
I guess she was sucking his dick
When she got her wig split
Now I’m vomiting because I’m sick
This had to be a hit
They killed my husband and that Bitch
That’s something that will completely disturb you
Being a witness of a Capitol Murder
