Try to imagine how they got Armando.
He was caught in an ambush and,
Still alive, brought to the edge of the woods.
They stripped him, laughed at his lack of hair.
They cut off his nose and ears.
They bore deeper holes into the holes of his eyes.
They chopped off one of his hands and, with it,
Took turns pummeling him. They pushed him down
To the ground and tore apart his cock and balls,
Stuffing them into his mouth. For added measure,
They sliced off his hard man-sized breasts.
Then one of them rolled his body over
And sodomized him, with the barrel of a rifle.
He was still groaning when someone
Mercifully blasted off his head.

Later, they left his body for the ants and,
Still in uniforms, leaped into the roaring
River to get rid of the blood.
