Reimagined version of Rock Me Mama by Manuel Guerrero.

"'I imagine the prisoner’s life as a loop of hard work and a perpetual loneliness feeling. I have a very close familiar living there, and everything i can think about him it’s that there’s not a real difference between living on a prison and living on the ‘’free world’’: we are allowed just to do the things that other people permit us, pay bills on a deadline, and the control it’s almost the same. We are enclosed on cars, subway, on the school, office, in a impersonal communication with other ones, till the point that ‘’freedom’’ doesn’t really means something. We are close, at the way of life, with the people on jails even if we’ll be constantly drawing lines to separate the ‘’bad guys’’ from the ‘’good ones’’. "
