I stand here
On my own
in a fortress of fear
All alone

My rifle in grip
Eyes set on aim
Bleeding down my lip
If careless i'd be slain

Squeeze the trigger at haste
Enemy bodies lie to waste

Bullets **** by my head
An inch closer i would be dead
Fear triggered my gun
Ducking down,No where to run

Gripping my rifle
Eyes on aim
Take a deep breath
**** to remain

Troops of hostiles
all around
Fear and Despair
Had me surround

In a flash he was taken
Made unconscious
In prison awakened

Tortured,Yet breathed no word
Determined to live loyal
Never cared if hit by knife or sword
to die a life royal

Horrific scenes his mind had bore
He was now,a prisoner of war
