OORAH!

by The Poetic Child   Feb 13, 2007


Pounds of gear he holds with his feet
Leading his men on, that he calls his fleet
Changing to Recon they enter a town
With 3 Marines laying there dead on the ground
Tears down the soldiers they quickly get mad
Reflecting on every Friend...everyone they've had
4 Marines are left, 1 gets shot out of the sky
another soldier just panics, Just screaming WHY!
Running for safety, With bullets coming past there face
the 3 soldiers left, sit and say there soldiers prayer grace

A mother and her children are filled with fear in there eyes
The mother holds em together "please don't hurt us she cries"
1 soldier comes, to assure and calm them down
The Other 2 marines, Shoot the sniper down

Mast Sarge gave them permission to abort in one condition
Find The MIA soldier left in the city, Its there next mission
They leave the house with the family inside, They Say God Bless and leave
Once there long gone away, they same house gets hit with an R.P.G.

Rushing toward the building that is supposed to hold the missing soldier
As soon as the open the door One Marine gets shot 3 times in the shoulder
Blindly firing the Other 2 Marines clear out the path
Getting So Mad, Trying to make them feel there wrath
The Marine who was shot found himself standing up to give cover
He will fight for his Country, Family and his band of brothers

The Marines get fire in there eyes with the hand of god in there heart
Blasting there way through the Obstacles of the building, all doing there part
Finding the missing soldier, who is badly injured and can't walk
Crying to the soldiers, Saying I'm sorry its my fault
He blames himself for the casualties of the marines who died
The marines shut him up and telling him look you tried

One Marines Carries the MIA soldier on his back and walks with his fleet
Heading back to the Camp Site, As every Military Man raises to there feet
Having a Moment of relief they easily and quickly become sad
As the leader of the group, gives the Sarge. All the dog tags
Of the men they saw, who gave there lives to fight
The Sarge. Clenches the dog tags in his hands with all this might

They Give one final speech about the mission they took and how it was Raw
Then after there done, every marine stood to there feet saluted and yelled..OORAH!
