Today’s twitter poem was inspired by the movie Death Race which I saw last week, the one word which triggered the thought and theme was “shank” and the rest kind of filled around it.  It is funny, I kind of summarized the whole movie in a poem.  Thanks to the following people and their words (highlighed in blue):

@wizzardsblog (deflated), @SurfCityJay (smoothie), @BlazingMinds (spooky), @brotherbob69 (shank), @izealove (avuncular), @azredneck (transition), @infohwyman (roof), @SonoranDragon (extempore), @summerbreeze80 (inflation), @blm03 (Disney)

Wrongful Imprisonment

Dreams and hopes deflated in an instant
One spooky event and your life is gone
Roof of concrete with iron bar windows
Only friend a shank in your right hand

As you transition to this life and way
An extempore prison roundup is called
Thugs and villains collect in circles
Inspected and interrogated by the law

An avuncular inmate takes me under his wing
Believes in my story of false accusations
Justice shall be mine and will taste like a smoothie
When I find those responsible for this atrocity

I still have a little boy out there
Waiting for his father to return
Dreams of seeing Disney World
Can still be possible someday

I finally learn who set me up
A life lost for ratings inflation
My retribution was swift and jagged
I escape to my new life forever changed
