Flashback
About 30 meters out, you can see,
they are hiding behind the tree.
I can’t get a lock with my loaded gun,
their exact location hidden by the sun.
Reported to HQ what distress we have found,
I can hear all the weapons and grenade sounds.
The screaming of Section members losing their lives,
no reaction force coming to keep us alive.
The anxiety and stress have my adrenaline spinning,
this is the one fight we are not winning.
I all but give up to this desperate ordeal,
this flashback is feeling so real.
I know this is just a memory from the past,
these moments now come on fast.
They take me into an unreal mental place,
located in the site behind my face.
The one sight, object, oddity I see,
the BMW off to the left of me.
This distorted my thoughts view,
bringing me back to what is now true.
