The World That Is Located In the Sky

The World That is Located in the Sky
David J Walker

Witnesses all
	To the fall of Saigon
In 75
And after all 
	Was lost or won
What we Though 
we saw 
	Was not at all 
What we had Seen\or Said/or Done

The monsoon rains would
	Again come 
And nurture the ferns and palms
Of the poisoned jungle 

The rice paddies plowed by
	Tractorized  buffalo 

The noisy flow 
of traffic 
On Tu Do Street, 
Paved by elite 
shoppers
Of freedom 
	At a terrible cost

The souls lost 
Across the battlefields 
Sell their dog tags 

For passage into 
Troi - thuong gioi 
The world that is located in the sky
Over Vietnam
