Broken Arrow

Tactical Adjustment

By Hannah HooperPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Broken arrow! Broken arrow!

Resources from others we need to borrow!

Ourselves not enough,

Only so long we can bluff.

When exhausted and depleted we are,

Only so long we can spar.

With the perceived enemy,

Outsourced and outmatched coincidentally.

Where do we turn in our moment of plight,

When external is tough but inside is filled with fright.

Stand strong we must,

Always ready to adjust.

Adjust to the tactics of many,

For they are never ending.

Not to be lured to the skirmish,

Keeping focus of our purpose.

To fulfill the important mission,

Going the extra distance.

Standing strong in the face of danger,

The mission never to endanger.

Help is on the way,

Although sometimes a distance away.

Rely on your instincts and never,

Think this fight is forever.
