My Lai Village, Vietnam 1968 Poem by Kevin Condron
My Lai Village, Vietnam 1968
My Lai village, Vietnam
Visited by Uncle Sam
In the name of peace they said
But shots rang out and all lay dead
Women, children on the ground
Troops used nearly every round
Hundreds killed, then some asked why
So many people had to die
It made the news and some were sad
Patriotic folk were glad
No-one guilty and no blame
Selective rules to play this game
Does anyone DISAGREE with the comments/quotes above? ? bri : ) Be Honest.
