Buahrangers Revetment: Poety and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. Pahl and friends

No imagination is needed.
No humility is dreamed.
No humanity is hidden.

No soul can e’r abstain!

Take notice and take heed!
Take signs and take all sense.
Take feelings and emotions.

From passions all will gain.

Talk, let mankind know
all we have seen and felt;
all we have heard and witnessed

be it ne’er forgot again

until our words are hidden;
until our tongues can’t speak;
until our life’s forgotten.

Then dyes of war will stain

power in all beings,
goodness in all things,
wonder in all creatures.

God!
Whisper…
Heal our pain.
