Seeing Ghosts

Seeing Ghosts
I walk around the streets
Of old Saigon
Seeing sensing the undead

The ghosts of the war 
That haunted life 
So many years ago

So many people died 
For a war 
That never should have been fought
For reasons that are still not clear

A great tragedy unfolded 
In a land half away 
Around the world 

The ghosts smile at me
And then they disappear 

Leaving me in the present
Life goes on
