Vietnam Poem

Please don’t send me off to war

I don’t want to be in this war

Have you seen my grades lately?

I have a lot on my mind as of lately

My girlfriend and I wanted to get married

I kind of like the thought of getting married

I just want to be by her side

Just to lay here with her at my side

Can't I just settle down and have some kids

All I ever wanted was grow old and have kids

Why are we going to war with them?

I don’t even know them

Let alone want to fight someone because they believe different

Isn't that what makes us great that we are all different

Do we really have to fight?

I don’t want to fight

If you want to go to war so badly go yourself

If I go I might as well as bury myself

Is anyone going to remember us if we die?

Most important how many people are gonna cry

Did anyone think bout our families?

How did I get caught in these twisted realities

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was written last year. It is some of the emotion of people in The Vietnam War. I pay my respect to those brave soldiers that fought for us, and to those who still fight.
