Analysis of Spirit of the Symbol



Spirit of the Symbol    
By
Randy Chavez

Spirit of the Symbol, the Seal spelled out, Represents the
Department of Justice that connects to the Federal Bureau of Prisons that forms two parts to secure the perimeter, that completes the circle, protected under plume that shield's this wing, safe from the outside and outside from within. When the inner journey ends, the outer begins. The Eagle stares,  gazing, imagining a vision of a future to re-enter this space and time and all that which in nature's sublime~
A symbol of dreams, a spirit within, to believe the day will come when we'll all be free~
Lets hope we never forget to appreciate how precious life can be."

About this poem

This is inspired by the Federal Bureau of Prisons logo. After having the rudest interaction of a Public-Facing Employee at the FCI Fairton Prison in New Jersey, I was so incensed that I began writing horrible things about the inappropriate conduct, conflict of interest and will not use a birth name rather an obscure title FAI AssistantExec, yet they have a lot of Power to behave in the most disgraceful manner. Since my complaint that didn't disguise my thoughts of this person and went into overt detail to expose this gatekeeping misconduct of this tyrant I elaborated about them through the Prison's Complaint Portal, it was sent back to me by themself. In which it said, "Thanks for sharing". I decided to change tact and wrote them this poem about there logo. It actually got me some results. Randy Chavez
