"What a day!" No one ever knew Art was sick with cancer Even while caring for others on their own deathbed Deteriorating into the shell of the man he use to be Now, on the deathbed himself Court dates delayed for a chance at Redemption Hoping to be with his loved ones for his last days on Earth Never seeing the world behind the barb wires and concrete walls again His Compassionate release-shot down to the ground! Victim opposition All accomplishments in the cage, didn't matter Consequences remain Skin and bones-slow agonizing breaths Deep remorse in his heart Tears flowing from his bloodshot eyes Hopelessness overwhelming the soul The Great beyond is calling All the pain, sickness and incarceration-over for good "What a day, Art!" when you finally stepped into glory!
