War Dreams
Letting me down
Going all around
Wings badly torn
Flaming swarms
Brass yellow jackets
With sharp stingers
Made of hot lead
Hovers over me
Rain from hell
Hanging by a thread
Dangling my feet
Spinning all around
Looking down
The barrel of
A kaleidoscope
Of mud and grass
Flashing fire and smoke
Repelling down
Below turning blades
Watched by those
Whose minds only
Dreams for war
Going all around
Wings badly torn
Flaming swarms
Brass yellow jackets
With sharp stingers
Made of hot lead
Hovers over me
Rain from hell
Hanging by a thread
Dangling my feet
Spinning all around
Looking down
The barrel of
A kaleidoscope
Of mud and grass
Flashing fire and smoke
Repelling down
Below turning blades
Watched by those
Whose minds only
Dreams for war

Tho' I must admit, "There is nothing "Abstract" about being in a "Fire-Fight" in a "Real War"!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
