Gr8 poem. rythme is gos well. i like the part:
"no innocence in the prayer"
i usually see this around me. u use words very well. keep writing:)

You speak of my grasp on the english language often enough, and I don't wish to return a seemingly unjust compliment by mine returned sounding so alike.

So I will not only return the compliment of superb vocabulary, I will also say that your excellent prose are most enjoyable!

But more to the present, this poem was delightful for its depth and, need I say it it, prose ;)

There are several ways to interpret your poem. I chose to interpret as describing humanity's deceitfulness. The prayer absent of innocence isn't just used by prisoners. Practice makes perfect, right? I overanalyze things way too often. It's an exceptional poem.
