Chapter 16 prison wall
prison wall
If I die here, friend, do not grieve,
I will live forever in your hearts.
One of you is dead, in a prison in Japanese occupation,
You should always remember the deep hatred he harbored.
When you come back and dig up his mutilated limbs from the earth,
Lift his soul high with your triumphant cheers.
Then put his bones on the mountain peak, exposed to the sun and basking in the wind:
In that dark and dank dungeon, this had been his only sweet dream.
