A Certain Sorrowful War-Hero

Kinsley Lee

After war, for sixty long years, held captive in enemy lands, 
As a prisoner of war, forgotten for so long, he escaped in empty hands, 
To hometown, returning with snowy hair, without a welcome. But no wife, 
His solitary burial ceremony reveals his distorted and unhappy life.
(18th, Sep.,2023, Kinsley Lee)
