Enlightened
Written By: D. Collins 12/21/23
America, of all countries, should be the ones enlightened.
Back when Viet Cong were bombed, and still came out fighting.
It didn't end there. We bombed Iraq and Afghanistan.
Then, twenty years later ran with our d__ks in our hand.
You can level cities from above, but understand it still breathes.
Imagine three generations wearing vengeance on their sleeve.
A child seeing parents, grandparents, and all siblings die.
Wouldn't they be on a mission to try and even the odds?
The tunnel system to get at them has been used before.
Napalm and big bombs still didn't let us win the war.
Just like the Viet Cong, lure them into your domain.
And, with the rest of the world, unleash all the pain.
