Battleship of glass

By closermike

 When men fight aboard my vessel I greet them with the most kindly words

To hide the fact that as yet to been heard that they there heads will be slit by the first cannon fires

A mere hammer can break my gigantic walls. Their bodies will walk without arms and their lives will thicken evermore for today is the day when i have stored when a navy of glass will NEVER be ignored yet men still shoot at the navy of glass made of 1000 ships on which sail fast we grasp the enemy in our strength in numbers

But with each hit we receive we lose another. for every ship lost is another crew member down another child to never see their father another wife to never meet another, just because there leaders said "let's make more than just 10" but the ten they would of made would of been of iron and steel, never glass shall peel in which case does strength in numbers really count? Should we make a fleet of glass ships or 10 ships of steel? Which will bring home more soldiers? June 1964 D-Day at that a bloody battle occured on the shores of normandy, 25,000 troops risk there lives on that day and many died knowing that they served a country which stood the boundries of truth, liberty, justice.  those men died serving there country and they need to be remembered more than what they are today to give the ultimate sacrifice for one's life
