UnderGround.













From The Sky,
Seen A dot
In the Ocean.
A small Island
Full of Tunnels
And Mysteries.
Empty Ground,
22,000 Death-Seekers
Underground

70,000 Blue-Soldiers
with hopes for survival
Landed peacefully
Looking for the enemy
Saw nobody

Night Came
Blood Shed
Face to Face
The Underground met the ground.
Defeating them slowly
moving forward an inch to a yard daily
Flame Guns blowing Caves
Raging Hells
From North to South,
In Heaven
The underground.


Underground They waited.
They fought to kill
As many as they could.
Until the last man
Kuribayashi shot himself
Declaring Glory
And Making History
Of A heroic Victory,

Note: Written for the Battle of Iwo Jima island, and how brave Americans fought it, Maybe not brave, but believe me that battle is something that needed brave people to make it. Japanese soldiers barely cared about life, Death was a morning breakfast to them, but they did give a lesson in fighting wars.

Facts:
Location: Iwo Jima is a small island close to Japan
Size: 8 km in length and 4 km in width
Japanese Force: 22,000. [less than 1% left, 200 POW, rest DEAD]
U.S Force: 70,000. [26,000 wounded, 7000 dead]
Lasted: Feb 16 to March 26 1945, almost 40 days.
Kuribayashi's Last word: March 22nd He Radioed the following:
"We are still fighting, The strength under my command is now about four hundreds. Tanks are attacking us. The enemy suggested we surrender through loudspeaker, but our officers and men just laughed and paid no attention".--he shot himself, and his body never found.
