Assault of Omaha 1944 (poem)



Assault of Omaha 1944


Soldiers with hopes of seeing another day

And not willing to be from family away

Standing with their strong rifles

Inside their hearts are frightful


Stop of the boat when it hit the sand

Soldier know what’s the plan

When the boat’s ramp fell on the beach

Oh my what a hell you see 


The plan was to rush and take the beach

But harsh Machine Gun fire we meet

My friend on the the left and brother on my right

They are dead but no time to cry


I can see the men in pain

This whole operation is insane

Ones arm is blow away and ones legs are too

Blood of more is sure to be soon


Water was blood red 

The Germans don't care 

About how much American bloodshed 

To me now Killing is the Nazi objective

Ray of hope opens now when destroyers came to support

Slowly crushing the Nazi strongholds

New wave of men start to emerge

With a little ease we all head with surge


Thank God i ain't dead cause am with the flamethrower

And as i enter the Bunker and flush them with fire

I remember they have beloveds too

And i head one of them say “Hanna, in heaven i'll see you” 


Battle for toady was over with the allied flag hoisted

And the german one lowered

But at what cost it’s  the job is done

Both sides with deaths sunk
