PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we call them

the tip of the spear

the back bone of America's might

the muscle in the hustle

our gentlemen jar heads

who own the monopoly

when it comes to deadly skill

dogs in the dirt

the silent unseen force

the bulk of our brawn

sons of the first fight

protectors of freedom

heroes in the making

the first human shots

fired from our great

military arsenal

The American Marine

long now may your great

strength, bravery and

promise reign

you are not only the best

of the best

but the best and bravest of

all of us

so

HOO RAH! I say to you

you sly, steely fox men

so patriotic and true

scattered now across

the vast terrain of

Afghanistan

we know why you are over there

we support you with our prayers

and tears

so listen closely now

and you will hear

every last voice in our

great country

singing God Bless America

proudly in your ear

just please try to keep yourselves

safe

and when this nasty business is all

over

come home to your loved ones in one

breathing piece

and I promise you

we will throw you the Biggest Party

the world has ever seen

and this means all of our military

as well........................
