Along for a bumpy ride
So cold and cramped
The engines drone on
Until the hatchway opens
A blast of air rips on up
Spinning the dust about
The bitter cold piercing
Bombs armed, hanging
There, far below passing
Like a vast train layout
The insignificance of life
Absurd cause and effect
Flying fixed and fast
A direct path to destiny
The fated mill on below
Unobtrusive object over
Above the target chosen
Bombs released sail down
An explosive rain pelting
Awash in the devastation
The plane picks up speed
Its payload launched upon
The doomed writh in pain
A holocaust from afar
Heaven sent destruction
Quickly vanishes away
Never seen eye to eye
Nor witnessing the cost
Returning to the distant base
Preparing for another one
Venturing into chilling skies
A steel shower of judgment
