The Unbroken

'Sell out your country' is what they said, 
As water kept dripping on his head.
Two days had passed since he went to bed.
'Sell out your country' is what they said.
Three days passed since he had been fed.
Denial of his Rights had not been read.
'Sell out your country' is what they said, 
As water kept dripping on his head.

We can sell out our country easily. We don’t need a water board, It’s done on line, in the news, Promoting the force that all nations are equal, they are not. There are some animals in this world that will kill you gladly.. you will find the outspoken. Great triolet. Pangie Most of the free world has no idea how close we are to losing our freedoms and I live.s.

Thank you. The waterboard was an allusion to stresses from constant accusations and arrests. There are attorney legalistic waterboards.

Awesome, Triolet poetry, Hilda. Very powerful imagery and message. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us through your poetry. I added this one to my FAVs list. I'll be following your poetry and hope you'll follow mine also so we can get to know each other better. A poet friend (to be) in Texas, Bill
