Monolith Prisoner Of War
I am a child in ambush with no means of defense.
There is no hope for resistance. I submit in silence.
I lie with the enemy and betray my soul.
My courage, it fails me.
I am a prisoner of war.
I find myself a slave
To the ruler of this world,
My dignity defamed,
Sowing seeds of the fruit of the fall –
The fall for which he blames.
I will not endure this prison.
Take heart, defy these shaking hands.
There must be truth, there must be freedom.
With broken legs I'll make my stand.
I won't lie with the enemy
Or betray my soul.
I will find the courage
To be a Man at War.
