Bird of a Brave Man

Confined in a stiff concrete wall
A box with the window bars
His brand-new residence
The guard took back the handcuffs!
In this concealed house 
Provided a few basics utilities 
Besieged by the cameras 
Will let him endure the breathing. 

Detained in a stiff concrete wall
Blocked off from his compatriots 
Those who have been oppressed 
By the antique monarchy
Those who protested the dictatorship
Called in peace for justice
And the primary human rights;
In a single life!

A bird flew by
Then turned back to encircling
Like they knew each other 
Long time worked together
Wished to boost the unfree friend.
From now on, just the brave heart
Can break over the high wall 
To follow the white dove!
