Martha’s Country Roads

“Country Roads take me home,
To the place where I belong...”
The radio plays the song,
Martha silently hummed along.
~~~
Camp Cup Cake did they say?
Martha’s new home is quite ok,
Set in the mountains a beautiful site,
Her eyes watered at this invite,
Her days will change from to and fro,
She’ll learn things she didn’t know,
Martha will meet more common folk,
She’ll learn to be the butt of jokes,
She’ll no longer be the boss,
Heavier will be her weighted cross,
Work will take on a different meaning,
So will the way she does her cleaning,
Profits won’t come in the form of stocks,
Bonds will bind her and doors will lock,
Her “good works” are now on hold,
As her days and nights are both controlled,
By uniformed guards who patrol this lot,
Women criminals who just got caught...
~~~
Silently humming those words again,
Missing her life ~ Remembering when,
“Country Roads take me home,
To the place where I belong...”

I found this on the least read list, what a shame. This is very good poem, a lot of people missed it. I have not been on this board very long and I can't help wonder why some poems get read and others don't. It surely isn't because they are not good, because once opened it's read. Anyway, I don't think Martha should have gone to jail, what better place than almost heaven. I grew up there once long ago.
