Terrorist Down

Storm the streets of torn buildings and blown cars
Discharged shells are my reaper's hand
Sergent to my front, buddies got my back,
Seek and destroy; Terrorist down.

Charge in force towards our main objective
Direct hits let live no one who dare defend,
With night-vision and silencers we kill without sound,
Clearout the building; Terrorist down.

Filter through hallways - they can run but can't hide,
Live grenades dominate and smoke out the scum.
Now amped for action trigger-happy ready and wound
War waits on the next floor; Terrorist down.

It's already half bombed as we reach the last room,
Moonlight fills the holes in the bullet-riddled walls,
There's a cot crushed by the ceiling,
once treasured toys rubble the ground,
Mission Success - Zero Casualties - another
terrorist down.

Re: Terrorist Down

It's an unfortunate reality that socio-politcal pieces are seriously underreviewed. So,to remedy the situation, here I am! ^_^

This is great; the words all sort of run together, creating this hectic, hurried feeling that puts the reader right into the battle zone. Prime example:

Excellent. My only gripe with this one would be the flow. Acutally, until the last stanza, the maturity of the flow really impressed me. Even though there was no particular syllable count or rhythm, it just works. Flow was spot on right until I hit that last stanza. Flow is such a hard thing to critique, because I can't really offer many comcrete suggestions, it just feels off when read aloud. Try reading it aloud and you might see what I mean. Well, since this was posted quite a while ago, I don't know if you have any interest in revamping it now ^_^ but if you do, that's where to start. Well, this was excellent and deserves many more reviews than it received. Brilliant work.

Re: Terrorist Down

You have captured the essence of the S&D and the rapid yet controlled chaos..movement and target acquisition. Tension and speed... the flow is rushed along with well placed alliteration. exhilarating read
