Airfields in ruins, fighters in flames,
Strafing pa**es shred
Armour roars Infantries charge,
Elutriate what is left
Falling back, insufficiently supplied
unto the Bataan Peninsula
Gby land and sea, crushing down
Reinforcements demanded as allies fold
Starvation and plague, Dysentery,
Surrendering forces driven aside
Ancient code of battle to d**h
The victor's customs were not met
Human shields surround artillery emplacments
Withering prisoners forced to march
Privation claims hundred with every pa**ing day
Humiliation and torture, Rotting bodies,
Stagnant swamp
Black, featureless remnants of men
Maggots encased in swollen flesh
Bursting open in blistering heat
The weakened buried beneath the dead
Cogon gra** covers the barren brown plain
Surrounding a charnel hamlet's fetor
Until Corregidor joins in dedition
Malarial chills will race the length
of protruding spines
Only fathomless hatred can provide
survival's means
Anomic the sole purpose of
the Empire's newest subjects
Bodily insulation gnawed away,
Wormed vomit undead
Denuded wretches suffer a rising sun cremation
