Mississippi Hippie
A piece of reflection for the Writer's Cramp contest.
Rated:

Avg Rating: (5)
Back in 1969,
I got arrested for riding the rails
down in Mississippi.

They caught me trespassing
on Conductor John’s train
and threw me in the Starkville City jail--
said I was a vagrant hippie.

Through my cell window, I could see
flowers blooming on a magnolia tree
and longed for the day
I would once again be free.
