Call of Duty

From a C-130

We bail into the night

A covert mission

Prepared to fight

Space so dark

Hand can’t be seen in front of you face

Unaware of your landing

Hearts begin to race

If it the jungle?  Is it the dessert

Will we land I the sea

No one knows exactly

Which it will be

Time is essential

You must not miss a beat

Off by even seconds

Death you soon may meet

So why even risk it

Is it worth it all?

Freedom is the answer

Duty is the call
