quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -

No matter unfulfilled dreams never came true,
nevertheless yours truly doth gladly bid adieu,

The swack,swack, swack, sound
Of a helicopter inbound, 
was heard,
Grass and dust churned and curled,

The horrors of war, 
are but dreams when...
