Day 39. This is War.

The sounds ring through my ears.
Sirens.
Screams.
Chaos.

The explosions turn from
deep red
orange
and yellow
to black
in the blink of an eye.

I scramble,
Like others,
looking,
praying
to find someone I know
Alive.

I am going the opposite direction of the crowd,
Towards the target zone.
I know what this is.
I've seen it.
Felt it before.

This isn't a simple attack
This was not a simple army.

The ground shook from another explosion.
The smoke clouded the ground and the sky.
No one around me looked up.
Scared for what they might see.

Frozen,
I looked up.
Lightning,
Shooting out of the dark gray clouds.

I am mesmerized
It looks so beautiful.
Focus

I shake myself from the trance
and move towards the war zone. 


Thirty Seconds to Mars-- This is War.
