2/16/24
The world is crashing down on me
The soldier seemed to say
What used to be complacency
Now turned to great dismay
Perhaps a lack of vigilance
Had found a way inside
And in a day of negligence
The gates burst open wide
Perhaps the soldier tried his best
But felt he was alone
Regardless, in this grueling test
His instinct was to groan
Fear not! He heard. You have a Friend
And many more to aid
This fire felt is not the end
He saw the darkness fade
