Best Lai Poems

~ Each Day ~
( Lai )


The Lord is best friend
Broken hearts can mend
Each day
His ear to us lend
His love always send
All way
His love has no end
With Lord time I spend
And pray

Against communist Vietnam a war was waged 
For almost twenty years fierce fighting raged 
The French came first then the U. S. arrived
Communism had grown and it had thrived.

Most American soldiers served with distinction
Carrying out orders for the good of their mission

Prancing through the fields
Golden sunrays yield;
Raindrops…
Fall from the grayed ceil,
Cloudy teardrops wield,
Pained crops…
Soon to be fulfilled,
Nourished and then tilled;
Good Marks!...

The My Lai Massacre - 1968

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...

~Morning Salutation~ 
(Lai) 


Sunr'se softly soars in 
Greets all with a grin 
Bells rings 
Folks get out, go in 
The suns a tad din 
Kids sings 
Making notes with pins 
Love birds sweet songs in 
Hearts brings.

I, mister, I'm 
Alive, alive.
...Alive.

Cut my limbs off
Let me bleed,
Bleed.. Bleed,
Bleed the pain.
Out.

Cut my limbs off,
Screw me senseless 
screw me dead.

My Lai Masscre.
I'm alive.
My..
Lai Masscre.

On the 16th day of the 3rd month of my sunniest year

the other side of the world was a cold gray river
	splashing boots
soldiers slashing
an 300 unarmed peasants 

but I was in the 24th year of a warm spring glow
	wearing mini-
skirt and stylish boots
reading romances old...

playing in the dirt
better than dessert
fun toys
starting to exert 
sweating through my shirt
life’s joys
don’t want to get hurt
better stay alert
whoa, boys!
