250 going home?

I heard the other day a rumor that President Trump is going to let 250 prisoners go home on the 4th of July; a tribute to the nations 250th birthday. I don't know if it's true; I certainly hope so. But, I must be honest with you; this rumor has saddened me because I know that, even though I am a perfect candidate for a blessing like this, I will not be one of them. You see, in this prison life you must have a voice out there promoting you, speaking for you ... and I have no voice. That is reality. However, what is truly sad is that I have more of a voice than 200,000 others who are less fortunate than me, and that's just in the Federal Prisons, we are talking about millions if we include all of Americas prisoners.

I will admit to you that I have been meloncoly since I heard this rumor; a rock in my chest. Hard times, no hope, no voice. Sadness. 

 Look around you and be grateful for what you have; some have nothing.
