Jailbreak
I did 13 years for a crime I did not comit.
How could I , I'd only just entered the world when they came for me.Apparently, I'd committed a crime in utero,a mortal sin,that only a baptism could erase and which then would allow me into their system.
13 years for a crime I never committed
I wasn't framed.I went willingly (or did I), to an institution called Catholicism ,where I
surrendered body and soul to a lie.A lie that this life and the next one would be free from suffering.Just yield to a higher authority they said.Everything is pre ordained they said. We are all good people they said.
Institutional order was maintained by feeding inmates ,of which I was one, a regular diet of fear and guilt.Touch yourself and off to hell you went.Eternal damnation for being human.
Most crimes (sins) were committed and then forgiven through penance prescribed by man, always a man, in a darkened room containing little more than a place to kneel and a small opening in a wall through which confessions were told.
Bless me father for I have sinned.....
For 13 years I was in that system.
They thought I was institutionalized.
They thought they had me for life.
They thought I'd come back.
They were wrong.
There is no religion that doesn't want your soul and the best time to get it, is the moment you are born.
