Society's Suspect
by
Anne Strausser
A worthless criminal is not what I am.
Just an individual who needs a helping hand.
A visible reminder of his fellow man.
So clothe me in a ball and chain.
I'm my own prisoner thou,
until someone longs to hear,
what my conviction is saying that's how I'll remain.
While some walk free in life,
and show no partiality or integrity towards others.
Some peoples' fate are to walk with a ball and chain.
Conviently labled the legally insane.
