County Prison Museum

Tristan Robert Lange

Formidable entombment
Of society’s shadows.
 
Let’s commemorate!
 
The worst of us—
Poured like cement—
 
Given permission
In what we call
 
Government.

    Tristan a commemoration of the worst fits of society. The us at the end of a line has double meaning (we or the United States) maybe the same. Well written my friend
