Louis Rams Poet Rhyme

Bronx Soldier

BRONX SOLDIER   ( this is a true story ) 

He was a soldier - Bronx born and raised  and learned the streets at an early age .helping other people where ever he went- knowing about sacrifices and what it meant . 
Sharing lunches with the homeless on the streets and speaking with the cops on their beat . 
He volunteer for the draft and to Vietnam he went. He became a combat veteran who learned the ropes , teaching recruits and giving them hope . 
They had a hill that they had to take , if the V.C. got it it would be too late . 
They took the hill as the enemy came and cut off their supply train .
With their ammunition running low " the lieutenant screamed we've got to go " .
He was wounded in the battle that ensued and told his men to leave down the other side as he loaded up the machine gun and started to fire  and was killed saving his men .
His name is on the Vietnam wall - for he did his duty and answered the call .
( this is in his honor and I won't forget )
