The moment has come.
You stand there numb
with your brothers-
strangers
Standing with you.
Not a sound is heard
except for your breathing
and pounding of your heart
against your ribs,
in your ears and throat…
You ride the waves.
Suddenly, almost without warning
the huge heavy steel mouth
of the cage you were in
throws itself down
and spews you and the rest out-
into hell.
You somehow approach the beach
wanting to remember none of it.
Finger on the trigger
people- your friends, your country!
Dropping like flies all around you
yet you and the others forge on,
Killing, destroying and killing more.
Men, bodies, things-
A blur is all they are to you.
The enemy and your survival pushes you on-
there’s no backing out.
You conquer the bloody mess,
the gory scene.
“Victory for the victor.”
No better hell could there be.
People strewn, disfigured beyond belief
but you try not to remember now.
They were men of a different uniform
but men, humans none-the-less!
Some you could have met and been friends with, under other circumstances.
But sheer terror, courage and rage pushed you through.
You just killed in cold blood-
savagely, blindly, mad
until you won.
You conquered the enemy and won
your “victory at sea.”
What hell for a man to see,
what hell for a man to see.
And oh how glorious
and oh, how majestic
as you gather up the remains of your comrades
some unfortunately still half-alive.
But a victory is a victory
and all who fought are proud-
as wounded and mangled as they are…
And so on man goes
to refuel and repair
and on to a new land
with a new name.
To another “D-day”
with another invasion
and hopefully
another victory gained,
in this world of civilized man…
