| Upon the Death of a Prisoner
"Morituri te salutant!"The phrase echoes in
 Her head once again,
 A bitter tear slides down.
 Here stands a boy...
 To be torn apart by lions.
 He walks past her,
 Doesn't even see her.
 The boy is gone
 Into his world of
 Pain and destruction,
 Into the jaws of
 Hideous beasts.
 The girl brushes away
 That single tear and
 She keeps walking.
 He is gone forever.
