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
