Seeing Glass
by: Anthony C. Murphy

I'm beautiful although incarcerated
society has been led to view
prisoners as scum of the earth.
Find beauty within my words enveloping
poetical form.

Beauty is a facet of my aura
for I've not become what the
justice system has hoped to
reduce of me.

I'm all seasons of nature
the beauty of its combination
to defy the odds define me.

Listen to these words, my song and melody
my presentation is genuine
and should be felt in the most
important places.

Embrace the beauty of the thoughts
in the mind of a man who so willingly
expresses himself

Be my stream, my river, my lake!
