Someday I’ll catch up to the regular folks that never faltered on the golden path.

Ego without substance
Is the norm in the jail
And in the world of
The prison uniform
The only chance to show
A little personality is
Underwear and socks
So it goes as you would expect
You wear ‘Tradie’ jocks
And you’ve never worked a day in your life
You wear ‘Hero’ jocks
And you’re in for rape
You wear ‘alpha jocks’
And you bow down to the play makers
Personally I wear the stock standard ‘Bonds’
Because I have
Nothing to prove
And zero fucks given
What other inmates think of me
Ego without substance
It goes as deep
As socks and jocks

This is all fairly run of the mill jail stuff, another favourite is jocks that say a day of the week and are almost always worn on the wrong days. The gap between how good many crims think they are how good they actually are is often staggering. I guess it’s a problem of context, compared to everyone they know rotting in jail and in the absence of ordinary folks they might be killing it at life. It’s an interesting situation for me personally for the same reasons; compared to your average career crim I’m smashing it and compared to an average joe I’m miles behind.

Very well expressed and versed..
