Captured

Seized by the opposition

Guns aimed to the head

Lead away in shackles

Unknown to what's ahead

Surrounded by the others

Who were caught before

Bodies defiled by torture

The hell they have endured

Forced into labor

Punished if they don't abide

Staring through the wire

To the other side

Captured, contained, tortured

Prisoners of war

Guarded, detained, slaughtered

Prisoners of war

Abused, distraught, defiled

Prisoners of war

Punished, wounded, diseased

Prisoners of war

Slowly put to death

Now driving all insane

Awaiting reinforcements

To grant them their escape

Hope is slowly fading

Brutality inhumane

None can understand

Horrors that have taken place
