Black Hawk Down Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

The helicopter circled
above the fighters
Below with the machine guns,
The occupants of homes
Scattered in fright
Killing many, injuring so many,
The fighter shooting
Form the ground,
Running zigzag, taking
Shelter near the walls
Inside the fort like shops,
One shot hit the fuel tank,
Making it go afore,
Bursting into flames,
Landing and smashing
Into a building, killed
The pilot and copilot,
Gunners severly injured
Knocked out of senses,
The commanders
And the polticians,
Not knowing the pain
Of innocence and ignorance
Bringing people and many
A black hawk down, down, down.
