Roll Call Poem by NikiAlex Zander

Roll Call



We are in Eastern France, fighting for what We Believe.
My Name is Roland. I shoot down Germans here, over Saint Lucie.
I am American. My Mother was born in France.
I have two squadrons of top pilots, We fight for cash.
It is our code. Our Men are killed everyday.
We are fighting against Evil, trying to preserve OurWay.

This New Guy shows up, no papers, He says He's from Philly.
He is kind of a long haired kid, but They say He can fly You silly.
'He is a Genius', They say. Does all this, Knows all that,
He did increase Our Planes engines horsepower, by 25% flat.

He talked about how You had to Believe to really fly.
How You had to put Your trust 'In The Lord'. Don't ask me why.
He told Us, 'Our concern is not whether God is on Our side when We fly everyday,
'My concern is, We need to be on Gods side, if We want to win the day.

Do you think that God will help you fly?
We are in combat, should we even ask why?

His name is Jesus', but he doesn't look at all Hispanic.
He said, 'I will show you the true way, now is not the time to panic.

He trimmed the wings so that we could fly a little tighter.
25 miles a hour faster, two new 'Wing Guns', now we have a real American Built fighter.

Do you think that God will believe in you?
Would you believe in me, if I did not believe in you?

I always wanted to fly into battle with you.
I wanted a friend who would always be true.
The German planes can't fly any faster, his design shows a lack of diving speed.
We can turn tighter, now, a short burst is all we need.

Do you think that God should help you kill?
If you ask Him to help, do you think He will?
Now in Jesus's American fighter, Our pilots are the 'Cream of the Crop'.
When we fly together in combat, we cannot be stopped.

Is this my time, my time to die?
If we don't believe in the Lord, who will cry?

We are in beautiful eastern France, but the French don't care.
The Germans here are very good, we must always be aware.
We are in the air over France fighting to just stay alive.

Are we trying to touch the candles flame,
If you get burned, who's to blame?
Trying to touch the candles flicker,
You will bet your life, on who's quicker.
