The Sacrifice

            Radio,

CQ this is………

This is nightshift

Where hiss and crackle –

Alien speak travel

Far across the galaxy,

     My weapon at the ready

For the automatic shoot.

     And though the quietness

Emulates an eerie tension in

The soul, my thought upon

The man now present should

Be further down the road of

Battle,

           The battle to restore a peoples home……….
