	ROE 1: Poem #4 - Old Penitentiary 
	 
FORM: Monchielle 
 
 
Old penitentiary 
Abandoned to decay 
Rotten and forgotten 
The joint slowly crumbles 
Purpose misbegotten 
 
Old penitentiary 
Was once legendary 
Inspiring great fear 
In crooks both big and small 
Sentencing most severe

Old penitentiary 
Ghosts of long dead inmates 
Stalk along the dark halls 
In pursuit of revenge 
But trapped within these walls 
 
Old penitentiary 
Run down, falling apart 
Just a matter of time 
Until it becomes nil 
Which might be the worst crime
