Locked up in a cell <br />The prisoners of war light the fuse to the dynamite <br />The door is blasted off the hinges <br />The prisoners of war escape through the opening where the door was <br /> <br />Enemy soldiers, one by one, are notified <br />And one by one <br />They try to take down the prisoners of war <br /> <br />War isn't pretty <br />War is hell <br /> <br />The enemy soldiers break out the guns and knives <br />Ready to take the prisoners of war down <br />But the prisoners of war do a wonderful job of fighting and staying alive <br />More enemy soldiers are dispatched <br />Some climb down or dropp off ladders <br />Some flip and somersault <br />Some continue walking and running on the ground <br /> <br />After dispatching the enemy soldiers <br />The prisoners of war climb the ladder <br />To where they can plan their escape <br />To where they can make their escape <br />To where they can escape in a helicopter <br />Leaving the life of war far behind<br /><br />Justin Gildow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/p-o-w-prisoners-of-war/
