[hometext] => By: E. Wayne Searles
[bodytext] => Bent steel with mangled blood and guts What was I thinking to join I must have seriously been nuts Ambushed shortly after getting off the boat Bullets flying everywhere I waded past dead bodies still afloat My mind spinning so fast buddies blown apart by my side All I could do is keep moving there was no place to hide Ocean water was once blue now it has turned to red The enemy just keeps on shooting it’s a horrific battle with so many dead I manage to hit the beach blood pouring from my right arm In shock from the horror of this bloody body farm Now covered in sand explosions all around Bullets still flying I hear the buzzing sound There is no pain even though there should be My arm half missing it didn’t seem to bother me Crawling further under fire mentally and morally straight I find an enemy bunker it’s time they meet their fate I grab a grenade I pull the pin with my other hand and throw I heard a bunch of screaming then I heard it blow I managed to enter that bunker not one shot fired at me Bloodied bodies and bent steel is all that I could see Some call me a hero but I believe it not to be true I was just a Marine with a job to do It’s very haunting to come home and leave so many brothers dead on that beach My soul has cried for years my true sanity again I will never reach Many brave men they died on the beach that day They were the hero’s when their lives were taken away To all my brothers to forget you I never will Your memories were carried with me when I conquered that bunker on the hill May you all rest in peace in heaven where you stay Your death was not in vain you’re all the hero’s of D-Day Written: 23 April 2016 Copyright © 2016 E.

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. ©
