We have all heard of castles in the air <br />Noone’s mentioned prisons, I really don’t think that is fair <br />Because prisons are much more common, lurking in our minds <br />We create bars of steel and walls of every kind <br /> <br />Sometimes we try escaping, but we don’t have the keys <br />So desperately through the bars, ourselves we try to squeeze <br />Oh that is just too difficult, don’t get very far <br />So we just decide to stay put and save ourselves the scars <br /> <br />It’s not too bad in prison, when all is said and done <br />If you try hard enough, you can even have some fun <br />But I suppose it would be better, better than I could even dream <br />If the bars that I created of steel, I could turn into icecream <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2003)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prisons-in-the-air-humour-inspiration/
