Concentration

i got thinking
of all the
drinks
that killed
thoughts
locked in
brain cells

it's a fine line
it's genocide
a grey area of 
grey matter a
matter of fact
the barbed wire
wrapped and worn

around my head
jesus by no means
a crown of thorns
more orna
mental
not a
keep

sake
just a
means 
of trying
to stop pos
sible thoughts
from escaping

but the ones
that are con
fined in mind
are visually
enigmatic
and i should
not see

them so in turn
they turn into
the words of
the script of
the movie 
stalag
seven

More like Kelly's Heroes...During a thunderstorm in early September 1944, units of the 35th Infantry Division are nearing the French town of Nancy. One of the division's mechanized reconnaissance platoons is ordered to hold their position when the Germans counterattack. The outnumbered platoon also receives friendly fire from their own mortars.Private Kelly, a former lieutenant scapegoated for a failed infantry assault, captures Colonel Dankhopf of Wehrmacht Intelligence.

Thank you Lady, but I know "Kelly's Heros". Originally I was thinking "Slaughterhouse Five", but then remembering of where "Hogan's Heros" began; and I started to think WOW I grew up watching a show where Nazis and detainment camps were funny. "Stalag 17" was a serious movie and I believe William Holden received an Oscar.
