30,000 Lt Calleys- the My Lai Massacre

March 16, 1968 Viet Nam 30,000 Lt. Calleys There's a sound in the dark of a shot to its' mark and it's ended a dream for good for a boy in his prime who's run out of his time and he dies from words mis-understood. There's a girl putting out it's what her life's about, and the only way she can survive, but she gave all she could more than anyone should, then she's wasted, because she's not alive. It's the land of the dead and it' s pumped in their head, anyone looking cross-eyed must die, it's a license to kill, you can bet that they will, in the flash and the blink of an eye. It's the dark. It's the cold. It's the growing too old It's the leaving of loved ones behind to a peace never found and a war all around, though it's not any war they can find. © ron wilson aka vee bdosa
