Russell Cox aka Mad Dog Cox
sometimes gods smile on us
but not always
maybe childhood is the cause
if not the reason
for a life of crime
sometimes State
is here to protect
but not always
he didn’t believe
stone walls do not a prison make
but they fed his need to escape
clever resourceful
athletic strong
iron bars no barrier
physical fitness gained as he sawed
over the wall
he breathed free air
headlines channelled Baroness Orczy
week after week until they lost interest
a chameleon he found love
wandered from place to place
life on the run an adventure
outside a bank
luck was not a lady
freedom lost again
inside for eleven years
they say he reformed
liberty earned
yet they still watch
waiting
