No Justice, No Peace - Are Prisons Obsolete (feat. Jakaila Scaife & Pharoh D)

Dystopians’ & pessimists’
Implicit consent permits
Present prisons, absent people
In a dark fantasy
But new terrains of justice
Shine in our dreams
Absent prisons, present people
Whose explicit dissent creates
Utopians & idealists
Afterall, subordinated subjects
Pitiful penitents make
And “suffering introspection”’s spectacle
Ceases not humanity’s slumber
Reluctant monks’ terrible endurance
Secluded & segregated
Bound to the passage of labor time
Pleases no god worth pleasing
Horror complementing horror
But innocence needs no reform
And the clandestine operations of
Vagabonds and vagrants
Challenge the peculiar institution
Today, tomorrow, & forever
