The Outpost

by Qais aged 9

Yesterday, I saw the outpost awaken
Tanks plodded out of their garages
Soldiers marched out of their departments
Fighting the infected
To save their families
And the lives of their own.

Yesterday, I saw the outpost argue
Tanks barged and helicopters shouted “Hey you!”
Bullets rolled to the ammo station
While soldiers ran away on vacation.

Yesterday, I saw the outpost fighting
Robots raided the missile station
Loading them into their arms
Tanks and army helicopters
Turned into the real soldiers taking shot after shot.

Yesterday, I saw the outpost collapse
Tank garages smashed into a million pieces
Helipads turned to rubble
And robot labs well were now flames.

Yesterday, I saw the outpost resting
Tanks lay in stone
Helicopters rested in rubble
And robots lay in the ashes of what used to be their home.
