Lovin it!

By Winter Born

It is not my fault
I love this part of my job
the wind rushing past
Pulling tears from my dark eyes
My crew rules the road!

flashes in the dark
lead and copper flies wild
pings and zings near me
bright red streaks reach out to me
Poor aim saves our lives

Had enough of this
The roar of my weapon fire
the kick against me
My rounds reach out to stop this
The night goes quiet...

    The heat of the moment. I am positive without having actually been in that moment one would not be able to come close to relating but thanks for giving some perspective.
