IT SEEMS ONLY YESTERDAY
WHEN I WAS HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD
SEEING THINGS THAT I COULD NEVER FORGET
THE YEARS HAVE PASSED WITH INCREDIBLE SPEED
SOUNDS, IMAGES AND SMELLS STICK IN MY MIND AND NEVER LEAVE
THE FINALITY OF DEATH
THE GROTESQUE AND MANGLED BODIES FROM WOUNDS
THE SMELL OF BLOOD AND GUNPOWDER
THE LOUD POP OF AK 47'S AND THE DEATH KNELLING THUD OF INCOMING
FORMS THE PICTURE THAT FOREVER REMAINS
IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY
BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO MY BROTHERS
THE MARINES I TOOK CARE OF
EACH AND EVERY DAY
