Constant Defense
What is to be said about the spirit of a Leatherneck?
A standing collar of midnight blue brings
Out the solemn regard in honor of
The fallen. In silence, the mind just sings
The thoughts of fighters below and above.
In scarlet and gold the colors just fly.
In battles won, their mission is to go
Where the guns fire. In sea, land, and sky
They give their very best and are gung ho.
Part of the earliest days of training
Is the constant defense of a best friend.
When rounds overhead begin their raining
These warriors fire back to no end.
The will of the individual drives
The power of the Corps to save the lives.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.
