Who am I to demand justice?
I have no rights. I'm just an inmate. Human rights, women’s rights, children’s rights, animal rights, What am I to expect? Oh! what the heck, I'm just an inmate. I trusted justice and received conviction without evidence. I became the property of the state, Oh well! I'm just an inmate. No control over any part of my life, yet I exist. Damn, I'm pissed! The power of the D.A.'s office and the court system to have me jailed, With erroneous testimonies, the verdict was hailed, Make him an inmate. I pray to God and have great faith, and yes,I'm still the property of the state. I'm just an inmate. The faith that I have, in the power of prayer and of my God, I'm confident and trust in my Lord. Truth and justice will prevail; I know this down in my soul's core. My faith and fighting to show my innocence, I know soon, I will be an inmate no more.
