Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Unbroken

"Living by the "death before dishonor" code is the quintessence of heroism" --quote by poet.


unbroken...

one prisoner
     of war.
          beaten, put through
               his catechisms...

enduring
     torture,
          starvation,
               mind games;
                    more beatings...

to make him
     spill intelligence,
          yet he doesn't comply
               he...
                    remains...unbroken!

                           
                        (yalto)
