“70
Years Ago Today”
cji
6/6/14
Wars are
fought in nations
while sea
battles occur
men –
women are killed
yet it
is the territory taken
where
blood split on ground
cities
destroyed and burned
bodies
decay and stink
civilians
uprooted-starved
daily
lives forever altered
70 years
ago today occurred
one of
the largest invasions
in
modern warfare so known
D-Day
now remembered
while many
such day had
this one
forever etched
history
forgotten others
June 6,
1944 remembered
barriers,
pill boxes, mortars
bodies strewn
on beaches
awakening
the beginning
foretelling
now also an end
held off
for three years
saving
thousands of lives
70 years
ago today felt
feelings
to overwhelming
elation
for some-defeat others
while
sea battles occur
war
fought in nations!
