Home

desolate
killing the green
to lead life comfortably

caged in a prison
brick walls and bars this is home
there is a bed, a fan, a loo

comforts you think
you have been chained
emotion: the warden
jailers: the loved ones

no reprieve, no parole
the door's shut the day you are born
the only liberator, death

This is what I find most intriguing. Ironically this is one poem I can best identify with. You have managed to very briefly but very accurately express the theme. Definately one of your best works.
