I chose to join the marines today. <br />To be put in a boat and shipped away. <br />Off to training, fire and aiming. <br />For I chose to join the marines today. <br />Filled with kindness open mindedness <br />not sure what I should say... <br />War and violence not my style, <br />yet for my choice shall be gone for a while, <br />For I chose to join the marines today. <br /> <br />every shot i make, <br />every family i break, <br />just know from the bottom of my heart, <br />that every shot i make and life I take, <br />I will do my part, and pay it back 10 fold. <br /> <br />My purity concerns you not. <br />for soon enough it will be my time. <br />To stand up and inline. <br />in salute, I will compute, <br />and untie the strangling knot. <br />For I joined the marines today.<br /><br />Poet of the River<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/marines-thought/
