This prison has been described by many human rights organizations as a place on earth worse than hell itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another factor you should know, is that in Rwanda, prisoners are dressed in pink clothing.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Life in Pink&lt;/span&gt; refers to life as a prisoner.   Criminon which is referred to in the poem is a humanitarian organization that works with prisoners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Life in Pink&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a miserable day,&lt;br /&gt;the accusations were closed.&lt;br /&gt;Fully pink dressed&lt;br /&gt;I cried as taken by a dose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facing the rejection of my case, I knew my future would be broken.&lt;br /&gt;My plans keep on drying out&lt;br /&gt;And where the hope is gone and maybe I will die.&lt;br /&gt;Criminon visits me the moment I did not hope for anything.&lt;br /&gt;With a cramped heart and jointed hands, an existing body but spirit far away.&lt;br /&gt;Despair everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Criminon, life in pink!&lt;br /&gt;It is time to have a look at the bright sight of life!&lt;br /&gt;I have found the way to happiness, the way to change my life into better days!&lt;br /&gt;Criminon yells life in pink!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Déo, your son will grow up, cover him with love!&lt;br /&gt;He will build up a better world,&lt;br /&gt;'Son of his father', they will say.&lt;br /&gt;But he will end up as a great man.&lt;br /&gt;I will not shout to him: 'get out of my way'!&lt;br /&gt;I will rather guide him into this world.&lt;br /&gt;That is how I will do it.&lt;br /&gt;Criminon, life in pink!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother of my son, cry out in joy&lt;br /&gt;I have nothing against you anymore, I believe in your loyalty.&lt;br /&gt;And God, I follow my faith. You or nothing is my rule.&lt;br /&gt;Criminon, life in pink!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is my life, however the others shame on you.&lt;br /&gt;Illegality is a cross, everyone who fails in it&lt;br /&gt;ends up in prison, that's the rule, believe me.&lt;br /&gt;No shelter, only you.&lt;br /&gt;Criminon, life in pink!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pray for God and I believe in him,&lt;br /&gt;without judging the God of other ones.&lt;br /&gt;Work is my support. Competence is my fruit.&lt;br /&gt;I will live well, without any troubles.&lt;br /&gt;Criminon, life in pink!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This planet is also mine! This planet and I have an alliance.&lt;br /&gt;I do her good for my proper goodness.&lt;br /&gt;Her prosperity is also mine.&lt;br /&gt;Criminon, life in pink!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wake up, where I am, Criminon is with me.&lt;br /&gt;Even in pink, life is pink! No dose, I have the hope and I work.&lt;br /&gt;It is tomorrow, the day out of these walls.&lt;br /&gt;Criminon, life in pink!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J.N.U.&lt;br /&gt;Prisoner, Gitarama prison&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Written by    &lt;/span&gt;a prisoner in Gitarama prison, find out more about this poem at &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/poetry-" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.squidoo.com/poetry-&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This poem can be used and republished providing a link is provided to the original post at &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/poetry-" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.squidoo.com/poetry-&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://freepoemsonline.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://freepoemsonline.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;&lt;a href="http://freepoemsonline.blogspot.com/"&gt;Free Poems&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1384890026180269644-2331069051490268712?l=freepoemsonline.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
