Vietnam Is Now a Memory

Vietnam is now a memory
A story of the past
Simplicity is no more an ending
Yet to have life is our sacred gift
 
Vietnam is now a memory
Many scars we bear to show
What glowing smiles will you find?
Amongst the rubble of our homes 
Vietnam is now a memory
I stand by the old memorials
I saw my Father’s grave in woe
What tears I have to show!
 
Vietnam is now a memory
Blood has covered our only hopes
Vietnam is now a memory
And now were all alone!

Vietnam is still a nightmare more than a memory for my brother and many of my friends. We accomplished nothing but the execution of our young. Our government showing us we were expendable. Congratulations on your poem being featured. Vince
