captive within one's own prison of the mind

tying a good man down
within the four grey walls
of sungei buloh prison
is easy meat
just use Executive power
give an order to underlings
who dared not refuse
or who obeyed for the almighty dollar
Carrot, carrot on the wall
whose is the juiciest of damned all?

a nation goes down the drain
almost toppling into the Abyss
but the Citizens have eyes which could see
have ears which could hear
have mouths which could still speak

One spoke without fear or favour
They came for him
To hold him prisoner withing four grey walls

But a good man resides within the freedom
Within the warmth and glow of his mind
On principles, freedom and soaring spirits
Grounded

It's that blardy Executive
Who tried to wield absolute power
To tie a good man down
He loses his own mind control

Becoming another cowering
prisoner within his own cowardly mindscape
from where
there is no escape
Fearing even his own shadows
on the borderless walls
mocking him
