The Prison Smoking Corner
by
Dr. Mark Winegar
The guard said, the smoking corner is off limits to visitors.
Inmates only"
Can't have any positive influences here.
What do you think we're trying to do,
Rehabilitate someone?
Move along, go teach your class.
Then get out of here.
These aren't people you want to know
And they don't need to know you.
I silently walk away wondering "why not?"
Where is the humanity?
What kind of models are we creating?
NEXT? Why don't you look at Nicole by: Francis Duggan from: Wonthaggi, Victoria, Australia
