The Marine's Requiem
Blood.
Dripping,
slipping, rivers flowing
Whe sources of it are unknowing
Whether
they be living or dying--
Some of them have just stopped
trying.
Sweat.
Toil of labor for the home
To defeat the
Covenant (as they are known.)
To defend their beloved earthly
home--
These Marine's love of country has been
shown.
Tears.
Running down a soldier's cheek
As he
wanders, lost and weak.
What is it that he does seek?
Rest from
battle's cursed reek.
Remember the dead Marines.
