A Poem By RoyalBehind The ShadowsBehind the shadows of my inner being Hear my heart, it speaks, it cries But closed ears hear me not. Grief is my burden, A constant torment, A purgatory that's eternal, created by me. Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!! Those are my screams. Can't you hear them? Look into my eyes, Peep into my soul, The shadows within are dark. Yes, very dark. But yet I see, I feel, I live. Dimensions unyielding. A labyrinth of emotions, My sorrowful spirit. Lost, incoherent, I drift. I'm falling, spinning, An abyss unknown. I no longer see. It's dark. Yes, very dark. I sleep... Royal Clark 2000 California |
Human Writes Patrons
"As a journalist who has lived and worked in the United States, the horror of death row is one of the issues that never leaves you. The thread of humanity that Human Writes manages to sustain with men and women on death row is a profound contribution to keep alive the hope of life. Capital punishment is now on the retreat in America, but the numbers awaiting their fate are still very considerable. I am very honoured to have become a Patron of Human Writes and will hope to do my best to put my shoulder to the wheel".
Jon Snow Broadcaster and journalist Patron, Human Writes
"In such an inhuman system small moments of human contact make a big difference. That's why I support Human Writes and why I would encourage you to do the same."
Gary Younge, Author and US-based feature writer for the Guardian Patron, Human Writes |
