No "FAKE" Fire Drill

No "FAKE" Fire Drill

Residents at high
land manor apartments
(aside from myself)
got rudely awakened -

by what sounded
like a screaming,
seething, and shrieking airplane
early morning hour

'ere september eleventh
two thousand eighteen
with deafening decibel (at
maximum threshold)

ear piercing shrill alarm
rousing atavistic primal
Neanderthal tapping primal brain
if NOT a atheist secular humanist,

I would aver my linkedin match
(com mon lee) attributed
to Abel and/or Cain,
but whether broad

minded or parochial,
that deafening fire alarm
this bloke doth disdain
but to ears of

volunteer fire fighters,
that unbearable audio
warning tone beloved,
aye need not explain

how appreciative, and
reassure ring knowing
rough and ready persons fain
to selflessly risk

life and/or limb,
when trucking
extinguishing arsenal
with genuine gratitude to gain

demonstrating without
pomp and circumstance
the art of being humane
automatic reflexive

instincts second nature
where breathe, eat,
and live for others
a credo, dictum,

ethos deep ingrain
within every cell
of their sturdy bodies,
sans indefatigable as

Tarzan and Jane
on par with prestidigitation skill
visa vis tricks of the trade
discovered via legerdemain,

yet aside from
power house strength,
another salient trait
needed asper physically,

emotionally, and spiritually exhausting,
grueling, and taxing job,
would necessitate one to maintain
composure in the

midst of pandemonium
gamely, gingerly, and
gloriously fighting infernos
(WITHOUT any mon
key business)

while training, learning,
and exacting diligence
non harried styled
tailored swiftness!
