Stick's poems

CON THIEN

It's a hill of dirt and rock but this land wasn't bought.

It's hard and tuff ground but we're Marines and we're proud.

We'll stay here to work and fight all through the day and night.

Because it's dirt and rock and this land wasn't bought .

even though it's hard and tuff ground because we're Marine's and proud.

HOME

It's been a long time since I've seen home.

But my tour is almost done it won't be long till I'm home.

This is a land of harsh climate, hot and cold.

This is a land of hungry people young and old.

In this land we do fight and die.

The enemy in more numbers do they die
