Pilot

The bombd and missiles resumed falling Saturday,

after a brief break for Fridays prayers~ U.S. News and World Report





Flying,

As I've practiced so many times,

Flying over a country full

Of Children and their parents

With raggedy clothes,

Barely enough food to survive,

Frowning

But not crying;

They can't produce tears.

Flying,

with a plane full of destruction,

Flying over a hay stack,

Looking for one needle,

The one man,

Everyone wants.



Flying,

Not just to do my job,

Flying,

For my country,

For my people,

For my heart.

Flying.

Dear God,

If i go out,

Let me go out

Flying.
