Dogs of War Unleashed |
Dogs of War Unleashed 35 Sam Adams watched from far-off Mumbai as the terrorists launched 9-11. Thanking the Gods that his wife was not working there at the Pentagon. He had a vision that the Dogs of War Have been set free Of their cages in hell, And are out howling at the moon. The Dogs of War Have been set free To wreck what havoc Might be. Yes, the Dogs of War The Hell Hounds Have bound out of their cages Sniffed about, smiled At the destruction, they saw They knew soon They would be in their element As the world descends into chaos , The world saw the face of pure evil That fine September morning A morning like any other morning Until a fateful moment When two planes came out of the sky, And Destroyed the center of world capitalism In an act of horrific violence, and pure evil That is beyond the comprehension Of mere mortal man. Dec 7, 1941, was the attack by Japanese war planes on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, an event which propelled the United States into the forefront of World War II. For tomorrow, write a story or poem which is set during an unexpected military attack. (But broadly construed ... could be like Pearl Harbor, could be a science-fiction space war, could be a gang war in NYC, could be an unexpected snowball attack by the neighborhood bullies, could be in fairy land, etc.) Focus your tale on the experiences of an "ordinary person" in this attack, rather than someone removed from the action (e.g. not military leaders in command and control center.) Try to bring to life the confusions and emotions of the situation. |
