Redemption From an Execution
By Jesus Torres
Condemned to a place without a windowless view Isolated from society, freedom and the ones I love
Feeling the atmosphere of despair, fear and pain continue to race through my veins and flesh
As the thought of dying lingers within me every second, minute and hour that goes by
Trying to consume some air
But the experience makes it so hard to breathe Hoping for redemption or mercy from only one person who can decide
Will I be executed?
Or will I die?
Is the one thought I have left
Can there ever be another chance for me?
Or will I travel along with the time of death racing with me Just to feel freedom once again
The seconds keep ticking
And all I could think of how in the world did it come to this!
With just a thought of a life I will truly miss
And Silent thoughts left in my mind Just Minutes Before Six.
Transformation
By Jesus Torres
Why does the vitality of life come with so much adversity one must face who can break the contempt of disparity amongst all human beings and take away the fears of a broken life When can we live in an assertive culture without opposition one could never resist
Can we ever defuse hate and stop living undivided amongst each other where does the juncture of our declaration truly exist As many are craven hearted living in a defective nature of life that come with disagreements, tears and lost hope As we face the rapture of living with a new American Life.
Scorn to a Thorn
By Jesus Manuel Torres
I have a recollection of when I first
got entangled in your threads
my heart was torn but yours
was filled with scorn and hatred
for the wrong decisions I have made
as my rose petals of life diminished
my thorns were left for you to punish
and place into a new atmosphere to
teach me how to recondition my faults
as I was labeled as a menace
and threat to your realm of loving
in a constitutional stance you became
a scorn to a thorn the moment your
system chose to place me in exile
until I have served my time
that was taken by you
The gravity and magnitude
of this gesture can never be
dismissed for I will be forever
compromised to be your internee
who was sentenced to a penitence
of time.
Second Chance
By Jesus Manuel Torres
You have been the arbitrator of my life
and a placate to cease and deter me
from committing the same actions
that led me to face you
Your reasoning became the deciding factor
of my captivity and the judgement
I would receive for I was the
curator who became the cornerstone
of my deeds and actions
I decided to perform
The background of my life was adverse
with disregard as I once was neglected
as an adolescent and my mindset
became distorted into a psychosis
that at the time couldn’t neutralize
itself
And today I do understand that
the culpability falls on me
as I have felt the magnitude of
what it takes to compensate a sentence
with the days of my life
But I have serene hope
that someday people like me
can earn a second chance with life
and enjoy my independence and
freedom once again
Independence and Hidden Treasure
By Jesus Manuel Torres
All I want is my independence
But the discipline and the chastisement
Is all you want from me.
Must I continue to babble about this
issue or must we conclude
that your systematic structure is
designed to break the core of
my soul
But I am a gem and profound
to be a hidden treasure
who is ready to expose
your justifications and bring clarity
to what you expect of me
as these manacles and irons
cannot restrain me no longer
Independence will be earned
and a chance for change
will modify itself into
a new chant for freedom.
Political Transparency
By Jesus Manuel Torres
Look at all these changes of life we must view
From political violence and bullets
That are killing more than a few
To citizens being incarcerated to life in a cage
To watch America continue to have an abundance of rage
And overturning case law like Roe vs. Wade
Where are we heading, what’s to be next?
Is life in America becoming a threat?
The laws keep changing but where do we stand?
And when will we be able to vote and change the laws
Placed for America’s land?
Is everything just a Republican and Democratic view?
And how long must Congress continue to control
Everything we do?
