A Prisoner - In Ones Own Time

Authorised confinement 
at his majesty's pleasure
involuntary restraint
deprivation at leisure 

A life-time of crime
top criminal attainment
means liberty deprived 
by involuntarily containment 

freedom of movement
as a prisoner, restricted
the consequence being
fully self-inflicted 

Arrested, charged, found
guilty of a terrible crime
sentenced to contemplation
of why - in ones own time
