Behind Bars!


from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

The barbed wire hangs like golden tinsel
as the winter sun sinks below the prison wall.
The shadow climbs, window by window,
floor by floor, plunging into darkness,
the cells and souls of men.
Another day, another year, another Christmas;
another world!
