This poem was written by LT.Perkins after he and his company of ODST's first landed on the Ark
Is everybody happy cried the Sargent
the Company bravley said yes and geared up
They got in there pods and did there final checks wondering if they would live this drop
through the speakers came the count down there final checks done
they braced themselves for the drop towards the ground below knowning that they might not make it to see the one's the love
through the speaker spoke the Lieutenant giving words of courage and wishing them luck
then with a thud and a clunk and a gut reching drop they were gone hurtling towards the ground
the marines gritted there teeth and closed there eyes waiting for the end be it death or reaching the ground they wished for either
there were screams as several pods were destroyed the lives lost forever in the void
they reached the atmosphere the outer skin of the pod shedding the chutes deploying
the majors did not deploy and hurtled towards the ground screaming the men shut it out as best they could until he hit the ground
then with a thud the second chute deployed the las year peeled away and they could see the sky and ground
they came down fast and in close rattling there bones
the doors popped open they unhooked and scrambled out the marines had landed and the 82nd was ready to fight
