Vietnam didn't leave us with any memorable poetry. If it had Jacob, and forgetting the memorable, maybe this? Whispered words strange in my ear and hoarded from my tongue send messages no farther than the length of my yet trembling arm while all around more frightened men are crouched in green to kill us all so they may live while we their twins a world away are crouched in turn to end their days I've seen our dead what's left of them bathed in blood and gore their precious thoughts left unsaid witnesses no more but I will fight and hope to live to see my home anew But not my friends those fated ones lying lifeless in the gloom sent to die by other men who brag to one another proclaiming now the glory of the dying of my brother and if I live and leave this last to nightmare's screams a wrong turn past will I see the world through the sane old glass and maybe then I'll think of men rotted long ago and then I'll cry to think of them their voices gone their message lost and maybe then I'll question why those who sent them never paid the cost and if I do then maybe then alone and late at night I'll think of those ill-fated men so frozen in dim light but I'll know that they'll be joined one day by more lives lost of young men sent to fight and die by more old men who never pay the cost
