Check Yourself

Heard about this guy saying some thing he shouldn't have about the Corps and then blocking a Marine for speaking his piece. I can't resist a good fight and had to put my two cents in.

As machine guns and explosives sing her father to sleep

She prays to someone her soul to keep

As he runs through minefeilds when day first breaks

She prays to someone her soul might he take

Maybe I don't know what it was like to be over there

But I know a man who does and boy, do I swear

Don't talk s**t about the corps

Because you have no idea what you're in for

Say something directly to one of the men

And don't you dare feel sorry for them

I know for a fact, you don't know what it's like

To be over there, fighting for someone else's life

You've never met my daddy, this man

Has been through way more than you ever can

You a******s who think you know who they are

Need to check yourself before insulting their battle scars

It's all about education, but when certain people think they are the smartest people in the room, they refuse to be educated. They feel they are correct, no matter what, and when you have people like that, there is just no getting through, unfortunately. I hope this got your point across to the intended target, and I am so pleased you shared this with me. I have a soft spot in my heart for that Marine, too. And, of course, thanks to your father for his service as well. I appreciate your writing this.

I love the intensity and the honesty in this poem. It is so true and needs to be said. Even if you don't support the war you still need to support and respect the people that are caught in the middle and that are giving themselves and their lives for their beliefs.

Nobody has a "right" to insult a Marine. I have 2 best friend that are career Marines and they are minorities and among the best patriots we have. Nice write.
