Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory Page #15

They refused to let me go

during my trial.

I take an Alford plea today,

Say Im guilty

when really Im innocent,

But just say Im guilty

and take this time-

And what do they do?

They let me go.

That's not justice.

It's up to us as a people

to change it.

It starts

with all of us.

We've got to make

the decision

To take each person

on their merit

And not just lump everybody

into something

That we hate, mistrust,

don't know about.

These are the very principles

our country is built upon,

But it's so hard

to practice.

Hang onto that.

Grab it.

It's ours.

We need it.

It's what keeps us going,

keeps us alive.

It's what prevents

things like

What's going on with me, Damien,

and Jessie from happening.

just keep them closed,

keep praying

just keep waiting

waiting for the one

the day

that never comes

when you stand up

and feel the warmth

but the sunshine

never comes, no

no, the sunshine

never comes

push you across that line

just stay down this time

hide in yourself

crawl in yourself

you'll have your time

god, Ill make them pay

take it back one day

Ill end this day

Ill splatter color

on this gray

waiting for the one

the day that never comes

when you stand up

and feel the warmth

but the sunshine

never comes

love is

a four-Letter word

and never spoken here

love is

a four-Letter word

here in this prison

I suffer this no longer

I put an end to

this I swear,

this I swear

the sun will shine,

this I swear, this I swear

this I swear.
