The prison bars deny you the now. You are forced to always think about the past or the future.

The primary obligation of any prisoner is to escape. Whether that means actually leaving or simply figuring out a way to handle things so you don't go crazy is up to you.

القاعدة الذهبية في السجن إن حدث وانتهى بك الأمر خلف قضبانه هي ألا تسأل أي سجين عما أدى به إلى هناك ، إلا إذا أثار هو الموضوع

THE CURSE

May they never
Return home at night...

May you have no part of eventide,
May you have no room of your own,
Nor road, nor return.
May your days be all exactly the same,
Five Fridays in a row,
Always an unlucky Tuesday,
No Sunday,
May you have no more little worries,
Tears or inspiration,
For you yourself are the greatest worry on earth:

Prisoner!

“There are multitudes walking freely about who are locked up in the prison of pride.”

We are threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future.
