Jails

Ever been to a county jail?

Ever been to the waiting room

Know what you see

A lot of nice

"Normal"

Families

Friends

Loved ones

Waiting to see the people they care about. 

I agree that people should pay consequences

I simply feel that sometimes

Life has already handed them enough

Beforehand

It doesn't excuse the behavior. Though. Not one bit

But what is a jail

It's not a center of rehabilitation

Are you really getting to know these people

Getting to know how they got at where they got

And walking them back home

Through real rehabilitation

Real progress towards becoming a better human(e)

In the grand experience of life

Or are you just putting them all in a room together so they can learn each other's tricks, become even more jaded, be harmed and even possibly killed and then (if they're lucky; which most are) unleashing the back on the public. (Lol)

Cheeky Ego

It's our cheeky little minds

That create situations

Which simply aren't there sometimes

Or maybe they are

But always with more layers than what it seems

Trust that things are simply never 

Exactly what it seems

Because our human brains 

Are so limited

Most of us have lost our innate 6th sense

And sometimes we can't see all the motivations

All the ulterior motives

Trust that even sometimes

They are in our best interest

And yet we still do not always see it

Some of us become privy of them 

Only upon death and dying*

That is when we get to see the greatest Greek tragedy of all

Our own lives

In complete, all included, no-membership required, stereo sound

*that is why when people are dying they want the truth so much. Why they seek it out so fervently. Because they are seeing the truth almost as if for the first time, but really it's only again. Their senses awaken, their hearts open and a floodgate of love and remorse come through the roadway, gushing up the sides. Once you see the truth, you can't unsee it. Ask anyone who has almost died. Ask me. I'll tell you. (Well no, not actually in person, that would be weird;wouldn't it?  Lol - you can read other blogs I've posted to read for yourself. Al be it a sore rendition of the truth. For how can one explain the inexplicable? And even still. I can't always see the truth behind "the truth", but I can always see people's humanities, except when I'm scared; damn fear!!!)
