We Marched On With Open Hearts
by Ernest Lozon (Age: 54)
copyright 12-01-2005


Age Rating: 18 to 127

  We Marched On With Open Hearts
Picture Credits:

Scorching hot sun beats upon our tired bodies,
trying to drain fluids from swelled up pores.
Lips cracked and clothing drenched with sweat.
All day long we marched on with open hearts.

Wooded areas darkened by the thickness of trees,
as branches repeatedly ripped at our flesh.
Slowing our advance and knocking down morale.
All night long we marched on with open hearts.

The cold, damp, misty fog blurred our vision
and marble size rain drops fell like stones.
Combat fatigues soaked up the extra weight.
On rainy days we marched on with open hearts.

Snowstorms and subzero temperatures moved in,
numbing our fingers and toes to the bare bone.
We fought to avoid hypothermia, sipping warm rum.
Shivering cold, we marched on with open hearts.

Shells and bullets homed in on our position,
as the sky and ground illuminated around us.
Cutting us to pieces we bravely fought back
and after wards, we marched on with open hearts.

An extraordinarily graphic yet straight-forwardly simple description of soldiers lives no matter what continent or which war. They do 'march on' as so powerfully stated at the end of each verse for whatever 'cause' has sent them wherever they are. This soldierly mindset has been the backbone of the countless armies that have marched through history. Very well written and a privilege to read.

This is a very good read; well-written. It flows well and paints a grim picture. It is organized and held together by the last line of each stanza. This is your best so far; keep it up.
