Rockets Red Glare

A scent of sulfer fights its way
across dusk's dessicated haze  
sirens scream for their fill  
working their double patriotic duty    
on this dreadful day  
   
I muscle another sip of my heritage    
warming as the thin ice melts quickly    
keeping all sorts of burns at bay  
   
echos fill the sky as light rains  
in amber waves of courage    
where egos speak of freedom  
and children are left to abscond  
from the hollow resound  
   
one more for the road warrior  
unbeknownst tomorrow's pounding  
will be at least twice as loud
