JULY 14, 2023 PRISON ARTS Transcend AARON Bask in the Light contributor Transcending the lines of a bar that was never set. How fundamental and emotional, can one person get? subliminal test broken cabinet in my chest I ache, and I crave To be unlonely If only… If only Whispers AARON Tears whisper unanswered questions. Silently shed from my eyes to the only things that seem to catch them, my shirt, or the floor. Why can’t the whispers leave me be. Artist statement: I write from my heart, and only about things as I understand them. I love myself, but do feel a lot of angst. I’m working on compiling a book of my poems entitled “Who can understand this pain I can’t seem to convey?” Thank you for reading my work. Love to all of you. They’re self reflecting and I hate that what I see is self loathing and every sin set on a reel so I may see that all the pain I’ve caused is real. DWIGHT Bask in the Light contributor Some men live for others and make their every act known Some live in seclusion, choosing to live life alone But of these men the group I’m in are the Men Behind the Wall They’ve forfeited their freedom, tossed away their rights By day they walk in darkness and sorrow fills their nights They’ve learned to hide their teardrops but still they fall At wee hours they cry and home seems gone for Men Behind the Wall Some have lost their family, most have lost their friend For them, today brings heartache that tomorrow cannot mend Where letters are not answered, when no one takes their call They cannot take the lost and what a cost it is for Men Behind the Wall Their past is forever in their future however far away Their story has been written with little left to say No one to stand beside them and catch them when they fall The debts they’ve made are never paid for Men Behind the Wall If there is one who’s righteous, then let them cast that stone And to be that has lived perfection, then let him die alone The ONE who was perfect was judged in Pilate’s mall He knows their debt and loves them despite them being Men Behind the Wall GROUNDCOVER NEWS Men Behind the Wall 9 Michael McCloud Dear Art Viewers, Hello, my name's Michael McCloud. I'm 33 years old. I'm from Jackson, Mich. I have turned to making, doing and creating art because it's peaceful to me and time distracting. Most of all I love my color schemes and how I make my colors pop off the paper, like they're just coming right at you. This piece you're looking at is called Kill COVID. I created this piece because, as the U.S.A. we have faced a tragic time as far as COVID. There's many messages in Kill COVID, it's just up to you, the art viewers, on how you look and judge my art piece. I hope you enjoyed my piece and look forward to seeing more from me. Thank you. “Kill COVID.” McCloud made an envelope out of DOC order forms to send in his artwork.
