Another Unknown Soldier

Green locusts whirl and flap above, A long way from Chicago, love. Out here, the armor piercing dove will make you scream for mothers' love. Through layers of mud, I'm still alive if life just means what I survive. The mortars thunk, I shove and dive. I don't think I'm--------------------------. The World of War: Vietnam. Gerard F. Keogh Jr.
