[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => Go to your left your right, your left! Company, one two, Halt! Right-Face! Atten--Shun! Present -- Arms! Your right arm level with the ground, And your finger tips are straight. Your thumb is tucked in smartly Taps plays as it’s getting late. No one dares to say a word As the flag lowers to the ground. Four soldiers standing at the base As building one is coming down. The flag will never touch the grass For the General will explode. There is a story behind it, But you are never told. Order--Arms! Left--Face! Company-- Forward--March! Hey little soldier where would you be, If Uncle Sam hadn’t taken you And sent you here to me? If you try to run and go to town, We will find you and Knock you to the ground! There’s only two ways for a soldier to quit. One is get killed and the other gets a whip! Company--Double time--March! One two three four, I love the Marine Corps! Go left oh left, left right left! Company--Halt!-- Stand at--Ease! At Ease! --Fall out! If today was great fun for you, Just wait for tomorrow It’s coming quickly too! You wake in your foxhole And what do you hear But the return of tracer rounds Zipping by your ear! One round in seven with White phosphorous inside. Will tell if someone’s shooting straight When it hits you in your eye! Keep your head low boys, It’s now you finally see That flag that can’t hit the grass Was a substitute for thee. For if you fall down We will lift you back I say By the best soldiers in the world, God Bless The USA!

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. ©
