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
