Devil Dogs

Poem from a U.S. Marine

Devil Dogs....

From

Heaven came fire
Hell came shatters in the Earth
I will not falter
Angel of Death will reap from my enemies
Passing over my brothers unscathed
Those who stand against 
My God 
My Country
My Brothers
Will answer in blood

Son of Bright Ocean Star, 2015

Author's Note

This is a poem my son just penned. He's working on another tatoo. I told him that he doesn't need another tatoo. I'd post it to my website, instead. I hope you like it.

there are several sacred rules for tats .. never a persons name .. never any writing .. its all about the image ... and always go to someone you know and never never ever get one in Sturgis ;)
i love this poem .. the brothers and sisters in strength and fidelity are paramount to the safeguards they they keep in place .. i especially love this no apology expression .. something we dearly need in the grey confusion of so called political correctness .. and may all our soldiers be kept in the Creators hands of safety and wisdom .. and come home secure

Thank you,E! It is really good for him to learn the sacred tatt rules from someone with more experience than me! I copied this link and posted it to his facebook page, so he was able to read your review along with everyone elses. He's excited so many people like his writing. Thank you for dropping in to read this one. Be blessed, my friend...:)

The beauty of the piece lies in the sincerity, the honesty, and the passion with which it is written. I've always been a fan of tattoos, though I don't own any myself. I quite agree with Einstein on the sacred rules though. They sound fairly reasonable...:))
Who would have thought great poetry is an inherited trait....:)) You must be a very proud mum!! :)

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, my friend. It is so nice that you dropped by to read this one. He will be thrilled to read all these great comments...:)

I like the spirit. simple poem that speaks volume. I have great respect for soldiers. they would not hesitate to give their lives for their country and their brothers in arms. that makes them special and the pride of their parents.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you for dropping in Woody! :)

My mother was against Tattoos
they're not healthy for the skin
either so thankful I know this but when
children get to a age they do what they
want my 23 year old Nephew Seth has a
Tattoo I don't know who he is any
more it is scary really
my sister doesn't agree with tattoos
she has non and she is beautiful that way.

and for me I don't think it makes
one beautiful that is why I would
never do it so I think ones skin is beautiful
as it is without all that ink on their body.



my son knows I hate Tattoos and will never
get one and maybe it is because my mother is
a nurse I don't trust no one doing that to me
my skin is Beautiful as it is.



But this was very strong and a brave piece.
thank you for sharing and for stopping by my page.



God bless. Benita

The strength, loyalty, and courage that each soldier carries with them for their cause, their brothers-in-arms, and their compatriots is powerful stuff and is highlighted here brilliantly.. especially in the last few lines.. You should be VERY proud girl!.. not only does this show his loving heart, it shows his strong as steel spirit that makes him what every girl dreams of.. I can't say anything about tattoos as I have five.. artistic soul + passion is expressed in so many diverse ways, and tattoos are just one of them.. ((big hugs))

[Bright Ocean Star]

big hugs to you,too. Girl, you know how dangerous tats can be. But in the big scheme of things, he's facing much bigger dangers than a tattoo...so i really just have to let him go and let him make his choices... thank you for stopping by...:)

[AprilRN1210]

you're welcome, it is always a pleasure.. and yes ma'am--that is all you can do... and what can I say, I am a rebel at heart.. plan on getting a few more :P

The idea of standing strong with your compatriots is powerfully and vividly exhibited here.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, MommaZ...:)

Stirring and powerful. United Under God we stand. Amen, sister.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, Xavier. I'm happy you saw this one. Thank you for stopping by...:)

[Michael G. Smith]

Strong piece. I feel the conviction in truth here.

[Bright Ocean Star]

He's full of conviction. It is powerful. He's getting ready to fight some powerful demons. Please, pray for him and his buddies. They need our prayes.

[realmwriter]

I think he should get the tattoo just because he deserves it as a reward for writing this piece. It's great. "Those who stand against My God My Country My Brothers Will answer in blood." Awesome line. I agree.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, RW. I hate to see him getting so inked up. He just got a tattoo right before Christmas. I appreciate you stopping in to read this one, though. thanks again!

[realmwriter]

May I ask why you don't want to see him get so inked up? I understand that it is none of my business. I'm really just curious.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is quite powerful....the idea of brotherhood and watching your brothers' backs is tattooed in the mind of soldiers...

[Bright Ocean Star]

That's what I told him. It is very powerful, indeed. Thank you for your positive comments, Jacob...:)
