RE: Clad in Orange: A Poem About Jail
Amazing. Love to see anger chanelled into poetry... it's always powerful!
It's such a stupid, insane, backwards system - putting someone in a f*cking PRISON for having 1 GRAM of a natural plant in their pocket.... it's ridiculous!
Thanks for sharing this and I am glad that day you were able to channel the way you were feeling into this piece - what a great way to release!
With Love

Angry poetry is definitely one of the best. Same with misery, but misery gets old I suppose. The highest of emotions will always create the greatest poems. (:
I could not agree more, and it's so hard to be free from the system once you're in it. I don't think I know a single one of my peers who hasn't been on probation at some point before they were even 21, most often for weed or paraphernalia. It's practically a norm. Hopefully they'll legalize it throughout the entire state sooner than later so these kids don't have to walk into adulthood with thousands of dollars in fines and fees for smoking a little weed. Until then, I'll remain a patient. I've got a new appreciation for freedom; or maybe they finally broke me. haha
Thank you again for taking the time to read and comment<3
