Korea Poem

Korea

 

Lost in the middle of nowhere

Korea is the spot,

We’re doomed to serve our time

In the land the Lord forgot.

 

Down in the rice paddies and mountains

Down where a man gets blue,

Down in the middle of nowhere

A million miles from you.

 

You sweat, you freeze, you shiver

It’s more than a man can stand,

We are not a bunch of convicts,

We are defenders of our land.

 

We’re the men in the Army,

Earning our measly pay,

Guarding the people with millions,

For two and half a day.

 

Living here with our memories

Waiting to see our gals,

Hoping that while we’re far away

They won’t marry our pals.

 

Few people know we are living

Few people give a _ _ _ _,

Although we seem forgotten

We belong to Uncle Sam.

 

But when we get to Heaven

St. Peter will surely yell,

These boys are from Korea,

They’ve served their time in hell.

 

By Jacob Kisamore

And his buddies in Korea

 

Submitted on behalf of Jacob Kisamore, a 94-year-old veteran from Seneca Rocks. The poem was written while he was serving in Korea and sent home to his mother.
