Prisoner

Person crying and weeping for freedom
Roasted in the lonely cell of criminality
In seclusion from the family, friends
State being the arbiter and mercy-monger
Often kept for pleasure of a few
Never allowed to enjoy all that’s enjoyable
Ever living with stigma and fear of society
Reasoning is a taboo even under hellish pain
