I wrote this poem whenever I was feeling melancholy and I finally finished it. Please tell me what you think of it: The drums of war were beating, Last hopes of peace were dashed, And as pfc Jones sat in his tank, He wondered where it all went bad. In the lonely desert, He thought of home His mom, his pop, his siblings too And his steady girl he left alone He stood on guard, His thoughts running free On the radio came voices, He knew what it would be All units, this is the commander Begin, proceed, weapons are free We’re doing this one for the oppressed, For Truth, Justice and Liberty. As the behemoths surged forward In one single line He manned his gun All thoughts banned from his mind Than new thoughts appeared He knew what they’d be His thought process at this moment Was all about the enemy How would they come? Would they come at all? How many would show? Then he heard the tank commanders call: Tankers Ahead! We’ve been spotted! Get those SOB’s Before they report it! The Loader yelled “Up!” “On the waaay!” Jones called and fired! The first shot of the war Resulted in a flaming pyre Quick look around, The other enemy tanks were gone. The first battle of the war Had just been fought and won. Jones felt no glory, Nor a wrench of pain, There was a battle being fought, And Objectives to be gained. Over the radio net, Voices once again Beware men, our scouts report Ahead rough terrain. The enemy is not dumb, He knows the land well There’s gonna be an ambush there Let’s go give ‘em Hell! The Behemoths kept coming, Troops at the ready “I’ve got a target! Armored vehicle, looks heavy!” “Don’t get bogged down!” “Fire at will!” The drivers maneuvered wildly As gunners went for the kill The picture got clearer, And through his gunners sight Jones could see what looked like The entire enemy’s might. Rows of vehicles Tanks and APC’s This battle was going to be tough and hard Surely not a breeze. The fought long and hard, The tank rounds flying Gunners on both sides scoring hits, People on both sides dying. A couple hours later The result was clear: The enemy was vanquished, The end of the battle was near Word over the radio Was great indeed For every single armored force Their Objective did achieve Casualties were high, But tears were not shed For the mission was not over, There was more ahead. As they moved into the town And took up their positions The people of the town came running out With cups and juice in pitchers. To greet their saviors The heroic fighters. Cigarettes were passed around as they Shook hands and passed around lighters. Out of the crowd Came an orphan child Who for years had no chance Nor desire to smile But as she went up to Jones With a flower in her hand There was a smile on her face And it seemed to light the land. And so the battle was over The people were free Released from their rulers evil hand Finally rid of that evil Tyranny. Jones felt good inside Better than he felt in years Knowing that because of him This girl would cry no more sorrowful tears. "Retreat, hell! We just got here!"-Captain Lloyd Williams, 2nd Marine Division, Belleau Wood, France, WWI |

Hey sorry I didn't reply to ur IM, stupid computer was messing up. I think this is a great, and by great I mean greeeaat, piece of work. I think you should write more often man. Well just my thoughts (and I'm sure everyone elses) I'm almost the same age as you, and my greatest work of poetry was "Roses are red; violets are fine; I'll be the six; you be the nine" That's some good stuff, Keep on writing man. It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at the big man crying. Edited by - jetman on Mar 14 2004 3:26 PM |

Thankx alot dudes. I've got plenty more, since mainly I write for the fun. My average poem/song writing time is just over 5 minutes, but I put a serious amount of effort in this one. "Retreat, hell! We just got here!"-Captain Lloyd Williams, 2nd Marine Division, Belleau Wood, France, WWI |
