Farewell sweet earth and northern sky
forever blessed since here did lie
and here with lissom limbs did run, beneath the moon, beneath the sun
Lutien tinuviel
more fair than mortal tongue can tell
though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled
unmade into the old abyss
yet were its making good for this
the dusk, the dawn the earth the sea
that luthien for a time should be
 
"I like big butts, and I cannot lie.............."

That's the only part of the song that is going through my head.
 
I wake in a puddle of urine. The sky is as black as my burnt skin. They have scraped me against the sun as if I were but a whetstone to sharpen a blade upon, but that blade is shattered, sundered with everything else. Only this piece of me remains. This piece of me that floats. I do not write with my hands, for they have taken them. I do not write with my mind, for I have lost it. I write with instinct, cold and wet, like my blood, which seeps in with the urine, creating a sickly filth that I must stew in. God has forsaken us. He will wipe his hands clean. I am the prophet. I am the pillar of faith that persists through the end of time. I am the monument of His power. I must carry the great weight of your burdens against me. I am Judas. I am Christ. There is no blood to drink or flesh to eat. I offer you nothing, for you are dead. Here is only me and our forgotten world.
My spine breaks against the jagged sky. My body is the clouds that are cast across this broken planet. I am torn into a knot. I am rung out. I am but a towel. An absorbent of grief. As I turn, the red rain comes down. But there is no Ark for these forty days and forty nights, and even if there were, there is nobody to carry for that time. You are all gone. You have left me. A broken arm has emerged on my back. Like a torn wing. I cry but I have no face. I breathe but I lack lungs. I am as much a person as God is. But as he is infinitely powerful, I am infinitely powerless.


Save me. No that is not possible. Not when I have been made by God to suffer. We are all but dreams of the dreamer, but I am his lucid nightmare. But I am not a nightmare that scares. I am on a leash of bone. My body is dying. Always. But it has yet to die, because I cannot die. I am always in his mind. I am a tumor. A reminder. A monument. He remembers you through me. He is angered by you. He hates you. But He does not touch you. You are beyond him now, for you are not here to see this. You do not exist. The only relief that comes with death is a bleak eternity of an infinite void of unthinking and unfeeling absence of sentience. The pain that He can inflict there is gone. There is nothing to possess you. You are free, even from yourself. I am trapped in every sense of the word. I have no God to turn to, for I know Him for what He is. I have no escape, for He has robbed me of my freedom. I have no release through spirit, for I am forever.

I shall die on the day that God ceases.

I crawl to the shore of an ocean of filth. Pillars of screaming flesh wait for me, eager for me to love them. My body will be ravished. I am not woman nor man, though I am human. I am nothing but what He wishes me to be. The screaming is overtaken by moans that cascade through the ocean. That is where they sleep. Those that God forgot are still as dormant as He is. But they do not forget God in their dreams. I can feel their hands reaching up from the darkness. Hands made of sleep. Sleep feels cold and jagged against my insides. Thrice my stomach explodes from the rippling mass of their fetid lust for their creator. The flesh that was once penetrating me surges inside of my form, tearing me apart so that it may restore that which I have lost. Where they seek to be remembered, I seek to be forgot, but neither may happen, for God is as deaf as I am dead. He will hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing until I have ceased. But through the eternity that I have had to endure, I will refuse you the pleasure of knowing where I have lived.


What have I done?
 
The United States of America has an incarceration rate of 743 per 100,000 of national population (as of 2009), the highest in the world.[2] In comparison, Russia has the second highest 577 per 100,000, Canada is 123rd in the world with 117 per 100,000, and China has 120 per 100,000.[2] While Americans only represent about 5 percent of the world's population, one-quarter of the entire world's inmates are incarcerated in the United States.

According to a US Department of Justice report published in 2006, over 7.2 million people were at that time in prison, on probation, or on parole. That means roughly 1 in every 32 Americans are held by the justice system.[4][5] According to the International Centre for Prison Studies (ICPS) at King's College London, of that 7.2 million, 2.3 million are in prison. The People's Republic of China comes in second place with 1.6 million, despite its population being over four times that of the United States.[6]
In 2004, a majority of state inmates (53 percent) and almost half of federal inmates (45 percent) had used drugs in the year before their admission to prison.[7] Among the prisoners, drug offenders made up the same percentage of State prisoners in both 1997 and 2004 (21%). The percentage of Federal prisoners serving time for drug offenses declined from 63% in 1997 to 55% in 2004.[8] In the twenty-five years since the passage of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, the United States penal population rose from around 300,000 to more than two million.[9] Between 1986 and 1991, African-American's women's incarceration in state prisons for drug offenses increased by 828 percent.[10]
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that U.S. State prison population growth rate had fallen to its lowest since 2006, but it still had a 0.2% growth-rate compared to the total U.S. prison population.[11] In state of California, the US State Prison population fell during 2009 for first time in 38 years.[12] When looking at specific populations within the criminal justice system the growth rates are vastly different. In 1977, there were just slightly more than eleven thousand incarcerated females. By 2004, the number of women under state or federal prison had increased by 757 percent, to more than 111,000, and the percentage of women in prison has increased every year, at roughly double the rate of men, since 2000.[13] The rate of incarcerated females has expanded at about 4.6% annually between 1995 and 2005 with women now accounting for 7% of the population in state and federal prisons.
The United States imprisons more of its racial minorities than any other country in the world. In Washington D.C., three out of every four young black men are expected to serve some time in prison. In major cities across the country, 80% of young African Americans now have criminal records.[14]
 
A major cause of such high numbers is the length of the prison sentences in the United States. One of the criticisms of the United States system is that it has much longer sentences than any other part of the world. The typical mandatory sentence for a first-time drug offense in federal court is five or ten years, compared to other developed countries around the world where a first time offense would warrant at most 6 months in jail.[15] Mandatory sentencing prohibits judges from using their discretion and forces them to place longer sentences on nonviolent offenses than they normally would do.
Even though other countries have more prisoners annually, the fact that the United States keeps their prisoners longer causes the total rate to become higher. To give an example, the average burglary sentence in the United States is 16 months, compared to 5 months in Canada and 7 months in England.[6] Looking at reasons for imprisonment will further clarify why the incarceration rate and length of sentences are so high. The practice of imposing longer prison sentences on repeat offenders is common in many countries but the Three strike laws in the U.S. with mandatory 25 year imprisonment — implemented in many states in the 1990s — is very extreme compared to countries in Europe.


Some who prosecuted the War on Drugs now believe it caused a large increase in incarceration in the United States.[16]
One of the biggest contributors to the United States' spike is the war on drugs.[17] During the first 9 years after 1971, when president Nixon coined the expression 'War on Drugs,' statistics show only a minor increase of the number of imprisoned. Around 1980 the United States had 40,000 people in prison for drug crimes. After the passage of Reagan's Anti-Drug Abuse Act in 1986, incarceration for non-violent offenses dramatically increased. Part of the legislation included the implementation of mandatory minimum sentences for "the distribution of cocaine, including far more severe punishment for distribution of crack—associated with blacks—than powder cocaine, associated with whites".[17] Under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, users of powder cocaine can possess up to 100 times more substance than users of crack, while facing the same mandatory sentence.[18] The Anti-Drug Act targeted low-level street dealers, which had a disproportionate effect on poor blacks, Latinos, the young, and women.[19]
Beginning in the 1970s, the War on Drugs has continued. As the War on Drugs proceeds, more and more people are being convicted for nonviolent offenses. When looking at female rates, by 2003, 58% of all women in federal prison were convicted of drug offenses. Women of color are disproportionately affected by the War on Drugs. African American women's incarceration rates for all crimes, largely driven by drug convictions, have increased by 800% since 1986, compared to an increase of 400% for women of other races.[20] Convictions have also widened to include women who are not only directly involved in the drug trade but those who are indirectly involved either through their spouses, families, or communities.
As of 2006, 49.3% of state prisoners, or 656,000 individuals, were incarcerated for non-violent crimes. As of 2008, 90.7% of federal prisoners, or 165,457 individuals, were incarcerated for non-violent offenses.[21] Drug offenses account for two-thirds of the federal inmate population; approximately half a million people are in prison for a drug offense today compared to 40,000 in 1981—an increase of 1,100 percent.[22] Marijuana-related offenses is only minor cause for the increase of prisoners. In 2004 was approximately 12.7% of state prisoners and 12.4% of Federal prisoners were serving time for a cannabis related offence[23]
Dorothy Roberts, in Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty, offers another cause for the increase in female incarceration. She believes that the United States has begun criminalizing reproduction. There have been an increasing number of cases that penalize pregnancy in two different ways—the prosecution of women for exposing their babies to drugs in the womb and the imposition of birth control as a condition of probation.[24] These new policies also disproportionately affect African-American females. While surveys suggest that black and white women use drugs at relatively the same rates, black females are much more likely to 'get caught'. According to Roberts, the explanation is that poor women, who are disproportionately black, are more likely to be placed under constant supervision by the State in order to receive social services.[25] They are then more likely to be caught by officials who are instructed to look specifically for drug offenses. Roberts argues that the criminal justice system's creation of new crimes has a direct affect on the number of women, especially black women, who then become incarcerated.
