Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Suribachi At the base of Suribachi Within reach of the beach, The mountain towers as I shrink Into guts of hate,—malignant: With a rifle and bayonet, and grenades And murdering hands To choke the existence Out of living things. They all looked the same to me; Refusing to quit, Hating more than me If that’s possible to believe. I loathed the air to breathe. My lips spewed spit. I swore I would survive Executing orders efficiently. I question humanity, my sanity, Victory VJ Day; (I feel weak on my feet,—unsteady) On that day I felt strong,—brave. So why do I return? The memories are unpleasant. My conscience unmanageable, My soul unreprieved. The flag appears smaller And the mountain lower On this waterless sulfur island In the middle of nowhere, And the beach desolate With no one running for cover. My heart died on Iwo Jima. My body alive to tell the story. *** Notes: 1) Battle of Iwo Jima: The 'Battle of Iwo Jima' took place between the combined American forces of the United States Marine Corps (USMC), and the United States Navy (USN) against the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during World War II (1939-1945) from February 19, 1945 to March 26, 1945.
