#missiles
Missiles split the dark — My city trembles and answers. Thunder, then silence. I will not turn away my eyes — But my heart is pounding hard.

I Will Not Turn Away
far off the jets are being gassed up preping for launch far off the infantry train in anticipation, for the battle sure to come far off the navy men scan the seas waiting for a blip on the radar far off a marine is receiving shock training and practicing what it is to be dead far off icbms with nuclear payloads are capped their ignition sources itching for flight far off but not so much

Far Off
I meant to have life with technology and medicine but Strategic Missiles and Biological Warfare tantalize my death. My Modest Need To Keep Life Even Is Odd.

Missiles and BioWar
Humans engrossed in making missiles, Signing deals for showing skills Forgot masks while designing wheels. And now its real, without ventilators Reveals all the feel And Make us repeal, It isn’t the first time, of ordeal and yet we don’t appeal for the freel.

missiles to mask
The general loved missiles. He got a tattoo of one. A big super-duper boom stick. Boeing MX Peacekeeper ICBM. Ten MIRV'd 335 kiloton warheads. City killers on our heathen ****** enemies. The inker moaned like a boiler. Huffing and puffing. You represent evil. You're the military industrial complex. You're gonna wipe us all out. And a dozen more rants. The general sat there. Listening and getting his tat. Why didn't you say no, son? You never had to do my tattoo? What you represent is madness. All that firepower, aimed at Russia. Well son, that's the way the world works. They aim their SS20s at us. It's all madness. Nice tattoo by the way. I'll remember you when Reagan orders me to order my boys to push the red button.

Pardon all the words :D
Caught in a stupor Of old fashion fake news Russia, Russia, Russia Democracy has the blues War machine, big earnings No question how far Or why... Third world citizen Your human rights Have subversively Been denied The missiles fly, from silos deep beneath the ground East Asian sentiments can a North Korean frown? The missiles wait, in silos under desert sands Iranian the anger they will, and they can People, just a resource expendable, it's true I'm sorry, most don't understand there are no precious, few Neocons' warmonger War is coming, not maybe We oil the jaws of the war machine And feed it with our babies..

WAR IS AT HAND
We army crawl across the dirt and patches of dying grass. Barely missing us, they passed. Crawl to one smoldering, watching out for broken glass. We thoroughly examine it. The white of the missile contrasts against the dirt. We hear their cackles. I hear a familiar click. I look up toward the deck. Curiously, I watch a finger press the button of the bic. From the corner of my eye, I see her mother's fingers flick. Another missile heading our way. "Watch out!" my cousin yells to make me alert. But it was too late. Why didn't I hear the familiar noise of it hitting the dirt? I look down and see another cigarette burn a hole through my skirt. I was too slow. It was too quick. Now my skirt is aglow. Through her half-witted smile, smoke is blown. I was only six, They should have known.

Missiles Tanka
It's time to enter a sleepless mind The cogs and wheels spin and grind I hear the whistles and the chimes My head racing faster than a v8 Thoughts are larger than a U.S state For my sleep I am ever so late Clocks in my head, tick tocking Side to side my head rocking Chains pulling of the ship docking Inside a war is going Bullets and missiles a throwing Explosions is all, lost for all knowing Eternity lost in void of thought Reminiscing on all I was taught Consistent darkness you haunt A sleepless mind is what I see It is all I know how to be So if don't you mind, come join me
