I saw a chain of command red faced and reeling

I saw a disaster, the flight of the damned
I saw the wreckage strewn where it had slammed

I saw a...

Carrying with me a
halfhearted smile for the
braver men than I.
The men holding tightly
to past perceptions,
live or die.

Suppose I lent a hand.
Would they take it as an...

...Back went his friends, facing the great onslaught,
they went to the fort, its safety they sought,
but the French took their time, did not give chase,

If the FoxNews commentator
and his Republican Congressman colleague
with pro-public universal health constituents
zealously inviting themselves to siege his suburban home,

in the present or in sieges from the distant past

Dark, sleek, cool gestures
Exascerbating the tales of whoa

A sudden wildfire engulfs the world.
Ephemeral flames keep burning untamed.
Contagious fumes  mire a cerulean spring,

Red, the heart of the gemstone
Symbol of love and passion

Dearly drenching...
