Dear god
Dear god,
Years have passed since Vietnam
Yet every night I'm transported back
Numb half buried in bodies
Enemies, soldiers... friends
Building buckling under fire
Civilians screaming in the streets
Hell on earth
I prayed to you
Every night
'Please stop the madness'
Save us,
But your back was turned
You chose not to see
To be a coward
Let us die for you
We were abandoned
Left to burn
Alone, so alone...
I am an old
man now
My body fragile,
My health poor
I know my life is ending
I welcome death as a blessing
Hell does not scare me
Because I
Survived
My soul long ago lost
In the burning battle field of
Vietnam
Dear god.
