No Title

Effects of Viet Nam on man An old man sips dreams from a brown paper bag And chases his greatest fear. He runs from the cage And the violent rage Hidden behind his tear. He has faced the Orange And refused to die. But rejected for the war Fought for you and I He refused to live the lie. Freedom carries a heavy cost That you may not know until its lost. And, he was your only hope! And the man said to me " I planted a seed once with no knowledge of what it was. It has bloomed forever and I still dont know what it is. I will be planted in my time--hope folks smile thru their tears and then pass it on." SBG
