PRISONER OF WAR
Marching,
Foots strangling every strand of grass,
Arms breaking through the wind,
Hands changed into fists,
Eye sockets only fixed on a skull,
A barricade of unseen lines demarcates each group,
Sweat creates a path on their mundane skins
And their ‘Kaki’ sucks it up and having no hope
Of getting back to their wardrobe,
For it is heading to the battle ground
With its owner,
To live,
To die
With him,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Whether he conquers,
Whether he suffers defeat,
Whether the innocent blood
On it is condemned to Hades or not;
Or whether it will be torn apart by bullets,
Bullets which will take it owners’ life too,
Bullets that will send him to hell,
To Hades,
To that dark auditorium
Where the commander,
The killer,
The killed
Will remain.

"As Jane said 'feet' rather than 'foots'. I'm wondering about the word 'auditorium', it implies the condemned get to speak to a silent, if judging, audience. Is that what you meant? I look forward to more of your work an…" -
