P.O.W.

(This is a fictional poem) I.m in Vietnam and I'm a prisoner of war. Regaining my freedom is the only thing I have to live for. I don't know what day it is or even what year. How old am I? How long have I been here? They keep me in a filthy cage and it's very crude. I'm starving, they give me very little food. Sometimes I want to die and get it over with. If I can't be free, I don't want to live.
