Blinding lights, flashes of piercing pain,

Confusions, thunderous booms, echoing cries,

Blood soaked battlefields, smoking runes,

Commands being called yet not followed,

Desperate attempts to restore control to restore order,

The droning chop of the circling gunships,

Spitting forth torrents of fire and steel,

The smells, overpowering, nauseating,

Haunting images, burned into the back of my mind,

Unyielding chaos, lives ending-pain beginning,

Second seem like hours, minutes like days,

I look through my sights, zeroing in on the next target,

I close my eyes not wanting to see the results,

And I fire.
