Hell in a Cell: Damned to Life

Working with these kids;

I see their pain

 

I see their bordom

and entrapment

 

They are products of poverty

and unlucky

 

They are agressive

because they are angry

 

For being labeled,

for being criminalized

 

But they were desperate

and so they offended

 

for many reasons

 

They need guidance

and help

 

But many people

would rather stigmatize

 

and damn them to a life of incarceration

which is no life at all

 

But we live in system that is controlled

by judgement

 

That is unforgiving;

and those these kids are hindered

 

by this evil which

is exploitation

 

How can we help them?

when the help is not really help

 

But hell for them
