What they will find, no one knows. Will they be on time, or will they be late? Will this be the day that the firefighter meets his fate? Arriving on the scene, they see the evil beast, Watching and waiting for the one to be its feast. Holding back nothing to enter the flames, Go the heroes with unknown names. They crawl into the beast's fiery throat. Knowing their duty is saving the victim they tote. Never flinching or swaying at the beast's lashing, Ever alert to the sound for the roof's crashing. These heroes exit the structure with a limp body in their arms, Pass the victim to medical care and turn back towards harm. The beast is angrily waiting for the heroes to go back in So it may take their lives so they may never fight it again. The firefighters step toward the building, The beast takes a deep breath, And exhales with such force and fury, it causes the firefighters death. These heroes have perished, their positions will soon be filled With the new and upcoming dragon slayers Who have learned the basic skill. Attack the beast and win, or it may take their last breath. This greastest of all tragedies, A Firefighter's Death ! Jesse Montgomery |
