Death Row

Unbelievable

it must seem to you

I too had plans

dreams

hopes

aspirations for my life

things I once

wished to be

now I merely

wish to live

Too many years

I’ve been in this line

waiting

no longer caring that time flew by

wasting opportunities

killing chances

for my dreams

to have life

I too

wish to live

Nothing else matters

I heard on the news today about

a man who has been on death row

in the ‘States these last 12 years.

This is an attempt to see his view.
