    Poem Commentary

    at war while incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison.

    A good by letter to mother

    I wrote to burden all that I fear,
    from bars and guns I live in here
     
    yet screams from 
    down the wayward tiers  
    echos though my burnning ears.
    T'was pain that peirced my heart I wrote
    goodby my mother in a note
    Tomarrow I might die with hate
    to resure me will be to late
    ten times ten hundred or so
    I've got to defend my werry soul
    what crys you 'd cry if you only knew
    t'was them that could not break 
    my heart in two.
    on the ground my body rolls
    that I belong in a grave,
    drown my flesh and sin's in bullys waves
    reach out to the air of devine in the sky 
    not to ask or know the reason why,
    just smile at the heated sun so high,
    and bow thy heads to say goodby...

    I have never read such poetry. I do not know from whence you come, however, I feel your pain. Awesome!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
