Con-queR.U.S.S

November 4, 2019 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

They wanna conquer-us in prison
concede then submit any identity of self empowering visions
lets be honest, they want to control my conscience
label- eccentric cocky and confident because I’m conscious
which is a conflict of the content they illicitly solicit consent to constrict my competense in order to compliment their conquests of conquering my knowledge and commandeered accomplishments
wanting to admonish my responses abolish my promise then re-polish my silence and responsiveness
while staying dominant over my imprisonment and procedural processes ever since my processing
prison betters you.. promises, promises
promise promises problems and politics
imposed apostrophes on the end of any probable prominence
because from my ‘proseofacon’ they’ll applaud as a personal compliment
they wanna conqueR.U.S.S
