Beef Stew, Soup and Rice
E-mail By Robert Simon Jr. Bio/AddressLife on Death Row is nothing nice.
Roaches invade my cell and so do the mice.
The chow is a poor excuse for the major food groups.
Everything is mixed together – beans and rice or stews and soups.
Some guards are fair and others are bad.
But when it’s time to beat you, they all see a red flag.
We are charged a fee if we need medical help.
When I learned of this, I wept as I slept.
This state is trying to kill me and I can not afford to be sick.
If I had a choice of coming back here or not, which do you think I would pick.
Life on Death Row is nothing nice.
Choose your friends carefully or you could be where I am eating
Beans, Stew, Soup and Rice.
AKA "Zaire"
