The intricate tapestry of their traditions, rituals, and way of life has been methodically erased.

The poem's initial lines effectively set its tone by employing a deliberate choice of harsh and cruel words .The poet's intention is to evoke sympathy for the prisoners who endured mental torment within that structure .the themes used are the themes of Power, Justice, and Politics .Throughout the poem, various metaphors are interwoven, but one particularly striking metaphor likens the prison to a flute for the cold winds. This metaphor serves as a poignant symbol, signifying the absence of life within the once-crowded prison. Now, the only sounds that resonate are the haunting echoes of the wind battering the remnants of the desolate structure.
