WaitingLonely days and lonely nightsLoss of love and loss of rights Silent prayers and frequent tears Fills the months and then the years. Behind a cage and in a closed cell Away from the gossip which creates a relentless hell For only envy, jealousy and resentment is found Making sure love, respect and compassion is never around Someday I pray, the ugly lies and vicious tongues will end By seeking goodness and truth and believing in God as a friend For time on a clock here is always the same From morning till evening dragging on as if its a game. Yet tomorrow will arrive as another day, nothing new Just trying to keep busy here is the hardest thing to do So on the game board we are placed, day after day Until the game is over, this is where we must stay.
