OKINAWA
The moon rides high in a midnight sky
While cannon boom and roar, and the
Screaming shells like imps from hell
Released from the devil's door, tear up
The ground with fearfull sound on hill
And valley floor.
In the lurid glare of the rocket flare,
The shadows rise and fall, a rifle's
Gleam is faintly seen, than a warning
Whispered call, cautious and quick a
Breech bolt clicks, and the whine of a
Sniper's ball.
And foot troops charge a fortressed
Hill in anger fear and hope, with
Clanking monsters belching flame and
Murderous steel and smoke, side by side
In a savage tide till the foemen's
Line is broke.
Remembered names of bloody fame are
Names like Kakazu, and men still tell of
The raging hell when the front line troops
Stormed through, and broke the spine of
The Shuri line and the fight at Yonabaru.
The big escarpment worst of all a
Challenge grim and bold, a frowning
Battlemented cliff where scarce a
Fly could hold, was scaled with nets
And blood and sweat while the
Cross fire cracked and rolled.
Crimson names on the map of war
And stubborn strongholds all,
Written in flame and blood and fame
In future history's halls,
In free men's minds will mark the
Time and place of an Empire's fall.
