Da Struggle
  Before I met the struggle of incarceration, I naturally felt that nothing could hold me
down.  I honestly believed that anything was possible.  I thought that I had the
strength of 10,000 men to topple any struggle.                                                         
      Even in prison I managed to do everything within limited power to free myself
from prison.  I've excelled in various prison self-help law courses; burned the
midnight lamp till sunrise studying law.  I've been working exceedingly hard, day for
day, for nine (9) consecutive years, chasing what resembles a pipe dream.  And I
am still following the path most beaten by freedom fighters.                                      
      My lungs feel to be healthy and in top condition, but the struggle of incarceration
is never-ending.  It has more wind than man himself; plus, it cheats, punching below
the belt.                                                                                                                 
      Now, my wind has been cut; I'm on one knee, and I realize that I need help, for I
am only one man boxing with judges and special prosecutors.                                   
      Although I'll continue to fight on my knees, it's a no-win situation without love in
my corner, and that's what I need.  But first, I need someone to trust me.                  
      Help me open the prison gates and watch a friend walk out and into your life
forever.  Under the worst circumstances, that's the best I can offer -- my word.         
      True, prison has a tendency to degrade character.  However I still have a sense
of humor, dignity, and realism.  My reality is this -- before I can manifest my vision, I
must first manifest my freedom -- an almost impossible task for a man incarcerated
in Louisiana.  But it is possible with love and support.                                                
       New Orleans home.  Age 32. Serving a 50-year sentence with a platinum
chance for a sentence reduction.  I've attended a recent sentencing hearing and the
outcome looks promising.  The hearing was to be continued, but the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina has halted proceedings.  A new hearing date is being sought.         
       I never thought the day would come when I would be needing help, because I
just knew I could do it on my own.  But I see I can't; and now I'm doing what any
wounded man would do -- request assistance.                                                         
                                                                 I remain                                                
                                                                 Sincerely --  a friend
