Blood Stained

My tormentors
serving up cruelty
had themselves a party
all over my body
in the pain chamber today

I gotta say
that torture session
was more intense than most
  
Even for one as stubborn as I
who long ago was resigned
that I was destined to die
alone in my cell
deep in the jungle
in this shit hole country
you probably never heard of 

This be the all too common fate
of captured spies
whose cover gets blown
for a few god damn pesos

So as I lay here
in a puddle of crimson

My face beaten to a pulp

Eyes swollen shut

Death hisses in my bloodied ear
one last cackling refrain
"Was all this worth the pain"?

Truth be told my oblivious amigos
nothing was really gained
in this zero sum game
as the butcher slices up
my carcass remains
and feeds me to the pigs
who are now the only ones
that truly appreciate my sacrifice
