DETAINED, WITHOUT REASON

DETAINED, WITHOUT REASON

Stopped, halted,
Roped and tied to a tree -
Detained, without reason,
No longer free.

A madman, crazy,
A lunatic wild.
Detained, without reason,
No more than a child.

Frightened, we're frightened;
Screaming, we yell.
Detained, without reason,
Living in hell.

There is no escape,
There's no hope to be free -
Detained, without reason,
Oh look, could be me!
