“Marching, Walking,
Crawling, Running”
cji
1/29/16
There were no rides
no vehicles or roads
just shadows forested
deep ridges amid bombs
rivers to cross swimming
carrying all we owned
indifferent to the weather
searing hot or freezing cold
thus we walked or ran
crawled or marched
towards the objective
seeking the enemy
till they found us
continuous two years
three years – 18 months
over and over again
grunting our complaints
mud, rain, snow, heat
listening to us daily
but caring not at all
still there were no rides!
