Emergency

Trees were sleeping in middle of the night,
We made loud screams like we’re in a fight.
Drops of rain pouring on our face.
Trying not to look back the prints of our trace.

We ran as if it’s the end of the world,
It’s an adventure that needs to unfold.
Unforgettable night of madness!
Only crows and owls were our witness.

Tingling blows of whistle made us whine.
Nothing will happen if we’ll not give a try.
Rushing through the woods with no light,
Holding our bags with two grips tight.

Left everything when we heard the siren.
Swishing too fast and witnessed a scene.
They called it “EMERGENCY” on its sense.
Trained us well fine and too intense…
