Poem By Chatinent: State Of Emergency by chatinent: 6:41pm On Feb 16, 2020
State of Emergency.

--------------------------------------------
Situation: About to break down.

--------------------------------------------
.
Radio: I repeat send reinforcements indian mike mike, send reinforcement, Romeo India Charlie India Echo calling. Do you copy? Sarge, do you copy?
.
Inner-mind:
Thoughts birthed, my nearest smile
Surrounded by eyes salivating, ready to devour
Fought as opted, oops! mine a-rest is nigh
Bolted akimbo, cuffed by memories like an 'ember moon.
.
--------------------------------------------
Situation: Fire Alarm.
"Do you copy? Sarge, do you copy?"
--------------------------------------------
Inner-mind:
Smoke the image of atica,
Cough, cough! Ha, a joyful pain,
Slept awaken, the White from Africa,
In the memories within, in dream's feign
--------------------------------------------
Situation: Enemy sighted..
"Alpha II is about to come down, I repeat alpha II is 'bout to come down."
--------------------------------------------
Inner-mind:
I shan't dream reality lest I wake,
I'm weak, strong and I'm weary
Boom! Like a stray orphan grenade
Such state of Emergency.
