An unforgetable incident.
I was in my death cell looking through the barred window And this was what I saw : The old man leaves his house, carrying books. A German soldier snatches his books flings them in the mud. The old man picks them up, the soldier hits him in the face. The old man falls, the soldier kicks him and walks away. The old man lies in mud and blood. Under him he feels the books. He was lucky ! He got up and with his muddied books And shuffled along in the muddy road. Perhaps thanking his lucky stars That he was still alive!
