More Marines

Bonus post today. Having discovered duplicate poems from last week, I’m posting the correct text that goes with More Marines:

   More Marines

Was in Belleau Wood
More Marines died than all years
Before had withstood

   -gl-

Contemplating service…

Please share your thoughts…

In the Trenches

Contemplating service…

   In the Trenches

They all serve that strive
Whether in the trenches or
Keeping commerce live

   -gl-

Contemplating all we need…

Please share your thoughts…

They Came

Contemplating brotherhood…

   They Came

They gave for they cared
From whatever branch they came
Dead or not they dared

   -gl-

Contemplating giving all…

Please share your thoughts…

Remember Them

Contemplating value…

   Remember Them

Noticed if they died?            
We should remember them all
Heroes years gone by

   -gl-

Contemplating sacrifice…

Please share your thoughts…

Different Stories

Contemplating decision…

   Different Stories

After service calls
Times two with different stories
The AC still stalls

   -gl-

Contemplating progress…?

Dangerous Out There

Contemplating uncertainty…

   Dangerous Out There

Testing the waters
Can be dangerous out there
Politics bothers

   -gl-

Contemplating nature…

Please share your thoughts…

And Goes On

Contemplating distance…

   And Goes On

The trail does not end
Work’s what it is and goes on
On the road again

   -gl-

Contemplating again…

Please share with others…

Rounded Up

Contemplating fate…

   Rounded Up

A surprise. Relo
One by one they’re rounded up
To the park they go

   -gl-

Contemplating fortune…

Please share your thoughts…

Someone Has

Contemplating necessity…

   Someone Has

Dark thoughts bring a pall
But someone has to do it
Resigned made the call

   -gl-

Contemplating sadness…

Please share your thoughts…

Her Den

Contemplating reality…

   Her Den

Doesn’t understand
That she cannot make her den
Here. Can’t understand

   -gl-

Contemplating, oh no…

Please share your thoughts…
