What does it mean the saying,
“The prisoner will be free;
Crippled legs will walk again;
And blinded eyes will see”?
In a wheelchair every day.
It’s black as night.
He has no sight.
He says he’s found the Way.
He says he’s free,
That he can see,
He walks in fields of gold.
One he calls “Anointed”
Lives within his soul.
How can it be, this liberty?
He’s paying for some crime.
It’s razor wire. It’s stench and
mire.
All he has is time.
He’s got what he deserves;
But now more than a sentence,
Another cause he serves.
He says he knows the meaning,
He has all that he needs,
Because someone
He calls “The Son”
Has made him free indeed.
What does it mean the saying,
“The prisoner will be free;
Crippled legs will walk again;
And blinded eyes will see”?
I wrote this about an inmate that I met when I worked in a correctional facility in Florida.
