“The Broken Bridge”

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!
