Call of the Marine (Acrostic) by ggawrysi
B efore you leave the L oading dock, getting ready to board the O sprey, gun in hand and paint O n face, the jungle calls, war in a D istant place. A ll your brothers have muscles with a knot, though N ot an arm or a leg, but a brain D efying the truth. You could be slain. G od willing you'll be home in six months. U nder supervision and leadership T rying times will end, but with what? S alvation or sweet victory?
