More #MondayMotivation

Another week, another Monday. Time to bring on Prose #mondaymotivation

Our Letters from Prison initiative has us visiting prison on a weekly basis in a bid to improve lives through the power of words. We post the work we bring back and hope some of you comment on them.

It’s hard to understand just how much your support gives the inmates confidence, as they see their punishment through. It truly helps them come out the other side motivated to lead a different life and stay on the straight and narrow. We have already seen it happen.

This week’s chosen excerpts are:

#1 - Understand

“…I’m disturbing the vibe

Massacre with words

Got a demolition mind…”

#2 - Autism Vs Evil

“…They killed our world, then played hangman on our grave

Support and services denied, covered-up for our babies…”

#3 - Evil deeds

“…But we humans

Let the weeds grow

Choking a beautiful oasis

Becoming a jungle of

Darkness…”

#4 - Crazy

“…The evil inside me deep down

Don’t trust me anymore

My smile is not real

My words are just a lie…”

#5 - Evil Fruit

“…Your fruit, good and evil

Tempting desires, I will not bear

Once blind but now I see for

One moment, letting you in…”

Many of these prisoners have had a troubled start in life and are bettering themselves with the tools that their incarceration provides. We hope the thought of that helps you face your Monday with a bit of positivity and some #mondaymotivation
