Vietnam – Desert Storm

Vietnam – Desert Storm

Dreadful for the man who dwells
on horrid pasts and living hells

All around the greenery
horrors mixed with scenery

The mind is told to stop the flow
suppressed anger tends to grow

Until the days of torture pass
send us home alone; in mass

For Desert Storm yellow waves
for Nam we hail the unmarked graves

While for our freedom each man died
back home only family cried

If yellow waves till our troops come back
then for Vietnam we should wave black

Desolate anguish inside still burns
as thousands of soldiers recap their returns

We ignore Vietnam: Desert Storm steps in
Storm reigns heroes – Vietnam morbid sin

The Desert Storm heroes tune is sweet
add vietnam’s best – make the list complete

They fought with valor in untold woes
Vietnam baby-killers, the story goes

Many lives were lost from misplaced trust
in a child that explodes as a patriotic must

A buddy dies, he’s a useful tool
for the Vietcong to create an American fool

When Americans turn him to identify
the explosion wounds some; many die.

Desert Storm is blessed by the Red, White and blue
but Vietnam’s vets are Americans too.

So if you wave Yellow for the troops concern
wave black for Nam’s that didn’t return
