A Marine's Day

These bodies all around I can't help but cry, Round after round Semper Fi... It's a Marine's day one I've carried My brothers, lay, in honor buried. "Kill em all!" firing my rifle hajees fall my conscience will stifle The battle is done yet goes on in my head I thought we won but every night i now dread But I'm a Marine Its what i do I'm bad and I'm mean But I'll defend you

Sad write. I can't imagine what a young man or woman who is in the military and sees action goes through. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
