Saigon Times
Why have we not opened our heart borders
to the truly desperate,,
to the men and women of Afghanistan
who've fought long and hard
for basic human rights,,,
now we're leaving them behind
with necks in the shadows of wicked knives..
We've known for quite awhile that Kabul would fall
so why have we not yet emptied our embassy,
have we forgotten the hard lessons from Hillary's Benghazi?
Again we've tried in jest to mold the bride of Frankenstein
into a runway model..it hasn't worked yet
the devil wins yet again..
Joe, if you have one last flicker of light left,
don't leave our loyal friends and war dogs behind
like we did back in those bloody Saigon times.
