Corregidor Island (The Mile Long Ruins)

The frontiers bounded by the strongest
and finest men,
warplanes, warships, while the
location (known as tadpole-shaped island)

Today
the mile long barracks,
ruins of great tunnels, prisons, camps,
excavated by the boldest defense yet
tainted with terror of a ravaged war.
Stood up with archaic honors
and a fading military strength...
