Array ( [sid] => 101224 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Irrational Fear [time] => 2005-07-14 21:54:58 [hometext] => This I wrote after having realized that civilians of all walks of life sometimes misunderstand the actions of their veterans. [bodytext] => Oh dear
I fear
Attack
From the back

Friendly fire
Must rewire
Regain our senses
Lower our defenses

Remember we are friends
Until the very end
We are Marines
Who travel unseen

Always faithful
Never ungrateful
Our charge unique
We take the oblique

March into danger
Becoming the stranger
Of another land
And another band

We act without orders
To protect our borders
And to defend our way
We may go astray

But never fear our intensions
We always seek redemption
And answer for our actions
When we cause distractions

Now unite young rebel
And adjust that treble
So the voice we hear
Comes through quite clear

Tell them we shall stand
And guard this land
From any aggressor

Irrational Fear

And adjust that treble
So the voice we hear

Tell them we shall stand
And guard this land
From any aggressor

awsome job on this one.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
