The Captive

Tony36

Blood flies 

As they beat him 

Again and again 

They want information 

He refuses to give them any

 

He was captured

By the enemy 

Kept in a cell

Chained to a wall

Tortured daily 

 

They want him

To betray his country

They want him 

To betray his people 

 

He fights back

Though weak with hunger 

Wounded 

By the harsh treatment 

He fights back 

 

He refuses to give in 

No matter

How hard they try 

He refuses to give in 

He does not wish to see 

His country die

    This is the plot of a suspense novel. A short story novel about an American diplomat in Kabul captive by the Taliban. Interesting take on this poem. You have imagination and a sense of direction in your writing.

      Thank you

      Thanks TONY ~ It always puts me to shame when Brits are tortured when captured but have the courage (and Faith) not to reveal information or denounce their beloved country. Thanks for caring. I have another BIRD FUSION (MY FAVORITE BIRD II) if you have another BIRD ! BRIAN
