Reasons for writing
                    VOICES

How do I begin to write these words.
Voices from the grave must be heard.
They call me crazy they call me insane,
because I remember each and every name.

We must remember those who died for us.
Lies of Vietnam why I create this fuss.
No one should ever give their life for a lie.
One insane reason why anyone must die.

What was the lesson to be learned from Nam.
No one must die for lies ever again.
Today we've two wars on at the same time.
More men will be meeting old friends of mine.

No longer can anyone anywhere die for lies.
War for money we must all despise.
How much money buys the life of your son.
Don't allow big money to put him under the gun.

Lying for war killing our very best.
If you die for a lie are you laid to rest.
Forever out there finding guys like me.
One who survived the combat infantry.
