The Vietnam Wall
Pain and sorrow, flows from that wall
Rivers of blood, seep from crevices
Sticky footprints, trail behind me
Voices in the wall, wail anger and pain
Echo in my mind, this wall confines me
It will shackle me, a prisoner unto it
Voices in the wall, whisper cries of hurt
Why did I leave, their time of need
Fear envelopes me, questions I dare not answer
'Why? Why? , Did you leave us here to die? '
Jim 1995
