Rendition

I look pleadingly into their apathetic eyes as they pull out the last of my fingernails - The pain is excruciating and I pass out amid my heartrending screams. When I come to I am engulfed in total darkness. I find myself lying it appears in my own blood, sweat and filth. I try looking around but could see nothing; I touch gingerly and find my eyes swollen shut, My nose punched into a bloody pulp, My lips torn open and all my teeth knocked out. Jesus, where am I, What have they done to me, What do they want of me, I know nothing I am just a regular Joe struggling to raise a family, Hoping to live the American dream; What would I know of the Jihadi cell or the terrorist network? I begin to quiver in sheer fright - Oh God, did they bring me here just because my name is M U H A M M A D?!
