Prisoners

There are, still, believe it or not, thousands, even millions of prisoners. They may or may not have been captured by the enemy.
They may or may not reside within prison walls or live in prison camps.
Most of these prisoners reside in places that have nicely furnished rooms. Beautiful residences filled with state of the art gadgetry. Wide screen TVs, beautiful kitchens with well stocked refrigerators, pantries.

These prisoners walk amongst us. Many are working, going to cinemas, shopping malls, working out at gyms, fighting rush hour traffic.

Many of these prisoners seem to be unaware of their constricted status. They seem reasonably happy. This brings to mind the flik - The Matrix -that may seem a bit extreme.

The prison sentences are self imposed. They are inexplicably tied to their captors, willingly, hypnotized, experiencing slight anxiety when their proverbial shackle is misplaced.

A device of imprisonment, separating prisoners from loved ones as well as sometimes life, itself.

The device is like a prison, isn't it ironic that it's known as a "cell phone"?
