Thoughts of the Normandy Landings

Upon this beach in Normandy, some soldiers came to fight.

They tried and tried to conquer, fighting with all their might.

But the Germans too were fighting aiming hard to win the war.

And on this beach they slaughtered, their fellow man and more.

They ran across the beach, where once families used to swim.

They got right to the sand dunes and they dug themselves right in.

They waited for the enemy to show himself once more.

And then their guns created such a loud and noisy roar.

The troops soon had to clear the beach and go into the towns.

Looking for the enemy that they would shoot right down.

The game it was like hide and seek, but with deadly ends,

If you saw just one of them you could never make amends.

But at the end of the war it was a bitter pill.

For no one really wanted to go out there and kill.

Their fellow man, they did not know and some with family too

What right have we to sign their fate

Not me, Is it you?
