“The Broken Bridge”

 
“The Broken Bridge”
 
cji
1/14/13
 
Seeking a road to escape
knowing it must be done
the roads are all watched
patrols going home to home
scattered gunfire is heard
thus to river we must go
the darkness to protect
down the known paths
single file a rope to hold
coming to the bridge
yet unable to cross
for broken and wasted
hearing shouts close
shots fired and screams
too late heard the cry
servitude the price to pay!
