One Rainy Night

It was a moonless, cloudy night
As heavy rain fell from the sky.
The wind howled woo-ooo-woo,
And the thunder loudly boomed.
Forks of white lightning crackled.
Trees fell with roots unshackled.
A night as dark as a deep abyss.
One that’d scare even the bravest.
Yet, a handful of armed soldiers
Climbed up a hill in camouflage.
The mission – to rescue hostages
Captured by terrorists in a village.
They slid through the alleyways
Using the storm as a cover itself.
Upon the signal, they all attacked
Raining bullets on the radicals.
The hostages were then saved,
And they lived to tell the tale –
Of the armed angels saving lives
On that moonless, cloudy night.
