The Game
Stuffing a life-saver in my mouth
I mulled over what it would be like
killing people again
hearing them scream
wiping the blood off my face
tasting it
recollecting how I sat behind a screen killing
the last two years
video games, so much simpler
now, having to discharge my weapon
live rounds
real flesh again
playing nervously with my safety
it's been a while since the last assignment
I remember how it was before
and part of me really wants it again. now
the hungering
as my fingers grip side arm
contemplating fire and ice, I snap back into the moment
overhearing “Sand Nigger” in the wallow of nerves and adrenaline
strange that I feel uneasy hearing that
I recalled a minister on TV referring to the enemy as insects
It made it easier
but not enough...
when the doors flew open
none of that shit mattered anyway
my gun roared, and I roared
"I'm Back!"
as I chuckled over the last few moments
fuck it
