You convicted me of a crime that all the evidence said I did not commit You gave me fifty years and suspended twenty-five of it No prom, no graduation, and no way to learn They took my name and gave me a number to learn You denied my appeals and all my requests to be set free I yelled in silence " It was not me" I carried the time to the door stood 10 toes down on that concrete floor In the back of my head, Frank Sinatra song would play because I walked through prison, and I did it my way Even though I'm free I carry the burden of being a felon to this day... Does Freedom Mean You're Free... -Gene Porter
