A Guardian Angel
My uncle Jeff,
He is such a clown
He makes me laugh even
When I am down.
He’s a man on the Row,
But you wouldn’t know
By the smile on his face
He is quick to show
Like him comes along,
When others are weak,
He seems even more strong
More an example
For others you see,
My uncle’s been more
Like a guardian angel to me.
An innocent man in a jail full hate,
He’s an actor in life…
He’s alone on the stage
If I grow to be half the man he’s been all along
I’ll teach as he has
And always strive to do right and not wrong.

Injustice for Jeff
I thought it would be easy
To write a poem for a friend
Thinking back on the best of times
And telling so much of them
But now he is convicted of MURDER
One for which he DID NOT COMMIT
Sentenced to DIE just for being there
BUT an Eye for an Eye has been met
Will anyone see this injustice?
Can you please just pardon my friend?
He never committed a murder
So why must he die for it?
