Bunks to Bedrooms

I’m nice

You portray me as ice

Now don’t ice me out

When you have all the clout

I’m nice

But what is the price 

Post incarceration 

My housing situation 

I’m nice

Let me say this concise 

Google I’m browsing 

For affordable housing

I’m not that nice

I used to have loyalty 

But you jacked that price

I’m not that nice

You drop it down

I’ll pick it up twice

The heights

Let’s try nice

Together release the vice

Change the rules

Offer us more tools

Let’s try nice

Support would suffice 

Not actively over inflate

Your subpar real estate

I’m nice

And offer this advice

Community can grow

Stable housing for those

Would certainly juxtapose 

The insecurity woes

Returning can pose

But a home and some clothes

Then watch the water hose

Grow my front garden rose

So don’t predispose 

My potential flows

Next
Next

Solitary/Solidarity
