The New ‘Nam
Poem (audio)
So, it’s Vietnam again?
Well, it’s V.I.E.T.N.A.M. here in the USA:
Virtually Induced Evil Towards Naïve Affectable Minors
It’s WAR within our borders—
not half the world away!
Such a high degree of brutality
Absolute carnage
is occurring particularly
on the populous teenage,
the ‘tween and younger elementary!
It's WAR on our youth
here on our own homefront.
You know that’s the truth—
the terrifying truth
we don’t confront.
War’s being waged on youngins
Vicious, psychological assaults
are being carried out
by so-called adults
who vaporize kids’ mind.
Poor youth are being bombarded
with drugs, hit with pellets
of “soft” prescription
but also with dirty weed, Fentanyl
and all the “hard” drugs.
It’s the new generation, NAM:
Nonstop Asinine Manipulation
tactically sprayed on our kids
like Agent Orange…
The powder’s peppered with propaganda.
Questions now we must explore:
Where is the big uproar over this kid killing war?
Where are the protest marches and songs
against all these wrongs?
Where’s the public outcry like we had before?
Excellent! And so very very true. Do what we can, every minute of every day, even if its prayer, the most powerful weapon of all!
Very well done. A deep and important issue illuminated in a very artful way. :)
