[hometext] => Just a small view into my life now that I have grown up and joined the Corps
[bodytext] => Here I sit and wait Bound by fate To walk the path of a killing man In camo and boots is where I stand I am one of the proud few A US Marine, oh if you knew How twisted they make us How warped we are Our minds are unstable Sanity seems so far The sense of normal ripped away To become the best its what we pay Men raised in the sand Trained to kill by God forsaken hands We are the proud few US Marines, oh if only you knew That we wake before the rising sun How we run all day till the running is done We play how we train and train how we fight Its no surprise that we are mentally not right To go to war and kill another Bound to the Corps as a band of brothers This is how we were taught to live In this world that is quick to take and never give We are the proud few US Marines, Lord I wish you knew Pray for our souls and keep them tight We'll need them if we survive the fight Keep our humanity and our emotions too The Corps wouldnt let me keep mine so I leave them to you So once again I say to you We are the proud few US Marines, tried and true [comments] => 2 [counter] => 246 [topic] => 21 [informant] => tundrahydra [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
