iRan

As the shell dropped.. IRan!
The bomb fell,
Whistling from a distance a sad tale,
Raising panic and consequently the death toll,
My commander fell,
Victim of being a patriot the wrong way,
Trumped like a useless bug and never lived to tell the tale.
But I, conscious and driven by my will to live ,
Followed the instruction hidden in plain sight ,
Like a smart deserter and ran.
IRan for clearly I didn't have enough power
To carry the weight of more shells.
