Dan Rather of CBS News calls it "The Killing Fields of America," but little do they know about the dreams those kids had. Somehow I escaped the destruction these kids were about to get into, so I could tell my side of the story that ruined so many lives forever.
I myself was blinded by the powers of darkness. We had a code and believed in death before dishonor.
As I matured, I realized how there is no honor six feet under and how you're forgotten after a few decades behind bars, all because we lived by a code that was a lie.
We tend to blame the man with the power to lock us up and throw away the key, but we forget who made a choice to follow that code that gave that man the power.
As we sit in our cells wondering, "Why me? Why me?" I remember there is no honor in a lie.
There is a way which seems right unto men, but at the end, it brings forth destruction. (Proverbs 16:25)
There is an evil, which I have seen under the sun, and I lie heavily upon men. (Ecclesiastes 6:1)
Nothing is truly learned until it is truly lived. (Deepak Chopra)
