The inflammation accompanied
heavy breaths,
Tip toed these moans
in the silence,
Patience walked along
the unbearable torture
In the camp.
The ribs protruding through the skin,
Did not let the heart slow down,
But increased the zest of pride
in those arms.
The legs were known for its potential
But still they did not run away,
As the blood of determination ran
through the veins.
The orders were not easy,
And so was not this deep seated mind,
Which kept itself unbroken
On that harsh land.

I hold great interest in keeping track with history as it fascinates me and I love to collect information about the World War and I am always in the search of information regarding it.
So here I have another story of a brave and a stot hearted man, U.S army officer and an Olympic athlete, Louis Zamperini (1917-2014) who survived through the torture of the Japanese army during the World War II.
It is a very inspirational and a very captivating story, written by Laura Hillenbrand and if you are not a great fan of novels, you should definitely watch the movie Unbroken.
The main lead has acted so well and he almost bought the scene alive on the screen.
So this poem is dedicated to all the army men who survived or still survive through such adverse situations in the name of war.
And also dedicated to
