There it was faint but compelling
I need help it screamed
As before my first thoughts are do not panic
The text that makes your day
The sounds and smells so familiar but unwelcome
Life goes on but here it stops for some
The juxtaposition of socio and educational classes
Police that shot and family that prays for same man
Long hours spent standing, intimate conversations with strangers
Blood, sweat and tears are here
Standing side by side with hope and fear
I've been here before, smiled at the guards, been ignored by doctors
Never know what torture standing for 10 hours could be
So, here I am again, doing the short drive for the long walk
