What some of our correctional officers endure while working in today’s penal facilities.
Entering the house of mad man
You never know what’s at hand
Screams and voices heard in the hall
Mad man’s curse gets us all
As I listen through the walls
Can’t resist their desperate calls
Looking through some stained glass
Remembered the site throughout the night
Sitting on an empty floor
Looking through an unseen door
Making circles in his hand
Like a child will make in sand
As I look into his eyes
I can see the pain inside
No regrets for what he’s done
Torn to pieces, torn inside
Thirty years have come and gone
There’s no healing for what he’s done.
Still a killer deep inside
As I close these doors to hell
I realize there’s much to tell
So when you lurk
These man made streets
Don’t forget the words I speak
Murder, terror, gangs and guns
Make these gates of hell undone
