Apache

The Cobra sleeps
As the Apache AH-64D awakens
This attack helicopter
Delivers the forsaken

With it's tandem cockpit
Reverse-tricycle landing gear
At the forefront of theatre
It's enemy will fear

Hellfire's and Hydra's
M230 Chain Gun
As the lead rains down
Cutting down the unwanted ones

Into service they were delivered
In March 97'
This breed has arisen
They now start delivering

This creation called Longbow
With it's cannon of fire
Arrows from the hip
If it's for freedom, then we require

Not familiar with the technology, James, but I like the way you presented the need for it. Just wish we didn't have to endure war after war in an ironic quest for peace. Well written! Love, Carolyn
