Welcome to My life in the shadows
ACADEMIA
When was it
That Hollywood
Made a movie
About Vietnam
Where the Veteran,
The Marine Corps Sergeant,
The Army Officer,
The Navy Ensign,
Or the Air Force Spec-Five
Was not portrayed
As some mentally weak misfit
Or another.
Were there no good Americans
In 1967?
Were we all hot wired
To break at the slightest strain?
Was that why they spit on us
When we came home?
By
The wise ones
I mean,
The ones who hid
Behind their education,
Their college degrees?
The ones
Who are now
In the Administration?
The ones who have totally
Messed this country up,
And the world to boot?
Is that why they spit on us,
Because they were so much
Wiser than us?
So much braver?
And now
They do nothing
As they watch
Our heads being sliced off,
The wise ones
I mean.
The ones in the administration- -
In the
Obama Regime
I mean.
Idiots!
