Modern Twentieth Century

He is in solitary confinement-
One man on this lonely silent rock,
no human companion,
only the wild birds and the creatures
that reside on this tiny island of doom.
Snow-white sands encircle this beautiful,
desolate island of loneliness.
This little island is
surrounded with beauty and filled with the deafening sound of
silence.
The only sound to be heard
is the crashing waves of the ocean
and
the lonely cry of the wind.
This is a twentieth century penitentiary.
Seclusion is the answer they say.
One horrifying moment,
an error in judgement.
Now he is banished to this lonely life.
His mind and body,
suffering shearing pain and agonizing
regret.
Wishing he could back in time-
To the warmth
of
home and to his loving family.
One moment, all lost in a blink of an eye.
On bended knees his pain undeniable-
Tears of scarlet stream down his
saddened face and into his aching heart.
His hands reaching in supplication
to the heavens above,
saying in humble misery,
“Please! Forgive me. Please!”

Wonderfully written, in such a different perspective. Great writing
