McCrae By Kian This is my entry for the Here's How We Roll contest. Before I decided to make this dish, I poured some poetic sauce over it and this is what I came up with. I hope you all enjoy reading it! Military service, oh what a joy Conscripted by the nation, it’s time to deploy At nightfall we left, and at nightfall we dropped Filled with adrenaline, we couldn’t be stopped But my parachute was broken, panic attack My comrades all noticed, yes they had my back Private Markus attached to me, helped me land safe No time for kind words, the enemy starts to strafe We searched for some cover, in a remote house The bullets flew past me, oh my poor spouse Left her alone with my unborn child Since that very day not once have I smiled We fought back bravely and the enemy ceazed fire I told her I was safe, oh I’m such a liar But it was for the best, that she didn’t know To tell her I joined the army would’ve been such a blow I walked through the house and saw a picture frame A little boy was smiling, oh what a shame He is most likely dead now, for war shows no mercy As I tilted the photo, I read the name ‘Percy’ Then I went outside to join my brave brothers They were all so silent, for they’ve seen many slaughters So we all sat in silence, looking at the lit sky If only we were there, unworried, up high A shooting star flew past us, time to make a wish To be once with my family before I perish I hope it ends fast, and I hope it ends clean I really don’t want it to end vile and obscene And after these thoughts, a bombardment took place I saw my brave brothers, they all were ablaze What popped to my mind was that poor young boy Percy Did he suffer the same fate or was he shown mercy Questions that don’t matter as the answers are in vain I hope he or my family suffered no great pain The heat scorched my skin, and it made me pass out I hardly could think of my brothers I cared about Oh fire, oh fire, what are you doing Do you hate me that much or am I just assuming I’m not ready to leave yet, my wife counts on me As obvious as it is, it was hard to see For I thought I would die, panic attack Gotta keep my head high and get back on the track As I woke up, I saw Markus’ face He was doing just fine and was shown grace He took my hand and he held it real tight As odd as it may sound, it felt quite alright He pulled me up quick, and he told with grief That only we survived, I heard beyond belief Why us, why us, I shouted to the sky If only it was here and we were up high We talked and we walked until he discovers We were still holding hands like two caring lovers We managed for the first time to pull off a laugh We looked right above us and saw a white dove Peace at last, or just a fake omen Either way it doesn’t matter, it reminded me of home and Of that boy Percy, I hope he’s alright That he got into safety, and not in a fight We now approached our target, the city’s High Tower Our objective is to enter it and restore power It’s a very huge building, the highest in town If it were to have a title, it’d surely wear a crown Markus and I , we climbed to the peak I hardly made it up there, for I was so weak On the rooftop was hiding, a shy little mail I picked it up slowly, still feeling quite frail When I read was written, my faced turned white And Markus then noticed I wasn’t alright It mentioned a mole in our task force I then turned around to Markus of course Felt the concrete, smacked down to the ground Aside me a balance scale with blood I found He hit me with an object nearest to him As I looked above, he laughed with vim “You traitor!” I shouted but it was too late My good friend became an enemy of the state I passed out and drifted alongside my thoughts His betrayal has got me tied up in knots As I finally woke up, I noticed I was falling For I was up high, there was no point in calling A person for aid, an angel to rescue Powerless I felt, nothing remains to do As I dashed down the tower, I closed my eyes My death was certain, no need for cries In seconds from now, I will lose my life But no need for sorrow, I will rejoin my wife Thanks!
