2nd Flight

"Fox trot, do you copy, yeah it's
 Just, as we thought, under the
 Farmhouses
 Are bombs, we've never seen before and
 They're armed.
 Same as all, they're getting nauseous and they
 Don't know how, and we're convinced that
 These are the cause, they're radiating gamma
 Rays, above."
 "There's four of us,"
 She said as she turned around
 "There's four of us,
 And how could we let them down?"
 "I'm proud of us
 We are strong now,
 Intelligent and
 We can solve anything
 We put our heads to
 We're the tightest team
 I've known so
 Don't hesitate and
 Focus this time."
 They put their hands away
 Shared a look
 Broke into smiles
 Lingered for a while
 Took their tools from the pile
 Standing like a plank she could se around her
 Tan sea devoid of trees and flowers
 Dusty and living despite no water
 Between lone barns
 She joined the rest of them
 Yeah, careful calculations,
 Dirt walls above them
 Trying to find the cause
 Shovel hit something
 Hard, and his brow furrowed
 "Look what I found."
 He took his tilly hat off
 And handed it to his brother
 Continued staring at the
 Orb, and gave the spade to another
 Sick aluminium
 Glow, counting down foreign numbers
 "Who put this in the ground?"
 She put her hand on his shoulder
 And took a look back to the other two
 "This time we make our own orders
 I think we know what we have to do."
 She leaned back
 And shrugged at the plane
 Pointed at
 The bomb then at the air
 "The four of us,
 Let's take them all out of the ground.
 Then fly them up
 And let our bodies sparkle down."
 "I'm proud of us
 We are strong now,
 Intelligent and
 We can solve anything
 We put our heads to
 We're the tightest team
 I've known so
 Don't hesitate and
 Focus this time."
 They put their hands away
 Shared a look
 Broke into smiles
 Lingered for a while
 Took their tools from the pile
 Twenty in a bag high
 They laughed and thought of their lives
 Remembering the good times
 There's truth in what you said
 There's light in what you said
 "You know that I love you boys
 You've each done me really proud."
 They held their hands, eight eyes closed
 Took a last look at the clouds
