5 – 2 – Life…..
They say we are free yet we’re governed by the hierarchy, supply anarchy and feel your rebellion extinguish your guilty pleasures. No wonder there’s so many lawless stories, your only free if you abide to your establishments law and orders. The only time your completely free is when that button comes down and we press delete. No pause, no escape, once we enter our journey starts, what we do in between reflects the life we lead.
I often wonder what makes them tick, greed, stupidity, gang related or just brought up with it. Rarely is it down to bad luck, it’s a choice. You swapped your memory for a bunk. 
I’d rather do a 9 – 2 – 5 than serve 5- 2 -Life. Just imagine if good behaviour was your only saviour, Maybe you should have just lived life different, chose another route,made a wiser move. Instead you swapped your home address for a 12×8, half that if your in the States.
10.3million held behind bars worldwide, scarey when you say that out loud.
I know we’re not completely free to do whatever but I’d rather be looking in from the outside than peeping through the bars of a confined.
Considering there’s approximately 536.000 lifers not forgetting the ones still hatching plans with the next convicts targets, there’s always double bunks when that gavel downs you. 
Why gamble with the freedom we achieve, we may be a slave to a wage but we didn’t swap our homes for a cage. I’d rather minus 39 from the 168 than live life behind lock and keys of a prison gate. 
Is it an ever rolling snowball that engulfs the ones they leave. The circle they belong to, their crime waves they call lifestyles.
I personally couldn’t bare to hear those doors locked daily, to have my privalages taken. To be away from family, simple things I take for granted. I think I’d loose the plot, completely go stir crazy.
They say crime doesn’t pay, so you might reap a small fortune, whatever poison your pushing , drive the latest motor, get caught watch it all seized, dissappear, enter the guilty plea, holiday at Her Majesty’s Pleasure, Welcome to your local Penitentiaries.
Get a job, it’s definitely a lot less hassle. Your choice, I’ve made mine, I’ll leave it with you, You decide.

Hi there, I'm Lee, I live in the UK in a small town called Blackburn. If I'm not working in the steel industry or training in karate, I'm out walking and taking pictures. I love taking photos and making them beautiful. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for a very long time. My writing run alongside my issues, personal pitfalls, and experiences through life. Some experiences sad, some dark, but always honest. I treat my writing as my personal therapist., letting my thoughts out in words. This releases my inner demons and settles my personal head space.
