In Memory of WILLIAM CODAY - Florida death row suicide April 2008




A friend who died before his time.


~THEN I DIED~


Freedom taken

Life forsaken

Steel bars

Painful scars

Mental strains

Concrete walls

No one hears your calls

Nothing’s fair

Hard to bear

Mind games

Nicknames

Count bells

Stair wells

Masked strangers

Constant dangers

Jingling keys

Trembling knees

Lonely hours

Faith sours

Years wasted

Hope tasted

Questions Why

Then I died….
