Letters
From Vietnam
For
Peter Dale Scott
Tomorrow
When
I fall
Bury
me next to Jim
The
dead Marine
Let
me sleep by a good man
Tomorrow
When
I lay motionless
In
a rain soaked jungle
By
an ageless tree
Battling
strangers
For
my country
I
remember Jim
Reciting
JFK vision
No
one should die for phantom wars
Man-made
causes and wars
Not
phantom are the dying
Blackened
faces
Bludgeoned
young fresh faces
Some
old soldiers dying
Tomorrow
When
I don't fall
I
shall visit Washington
The
JFK tomb
That
infinite flame
I
shall kneel
Say
a few words
About
my friend
Then
visit the wall
For
Vietnam
Repeat
the same words
And
a few flowers
For
my friend Jim
