Quote
  • I'm just a prisoner in a cage; I have no name, I have no age. The guards don't even know what I've done, All they know, I'm a captured one. My feet are in stocks, my neck tied to a pole, What food I get is shoved through a hole; At night I lie down, and my hands are tied, The rope is stretched to a pole outside.
