I am A Prison

I am a prison, I'm damp & I'm cold
I hold men who are young & men who are old
I'm surrounded by fences and grates that have locks
My walls are all made of concrete blocks
I'm a prison, and fear by all
I'll give you a chill, when you hear me call
Your name becomes a number, your face just another
I'll show you no pity, I am not your mother
I'm a prison designed to be rough
I am where society houses it tough
Nobody has beat me, though many have tried
But mosty they all, still remain inside
I have no answers, so dont ask why
I put these tears in your childrens eyes
I am a prison where no one wants to be
I confined who once was free
I control their pace, I slow down their stride
I strip them of dignity, I take their pride
Like animals that you might put in a cage
I contain these men and watch them age
I am a prison,I am full of dispair
I can be a mans worst nightmare
You'll recongnize me , by my loud slamming doors
I am a prison, a place you dont want to live
I have so much to take, but nothing to give
But there is one who does, And he hears all your pleas
So pray to the Lord Jesus for he has the Keys
