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

Can you hear the drums?
Are they beating to the rhythm of death?

No, my friends,
there is no rhythm to death!
Death is a silent song sung by unheard voices

Can you hear the drums?
Are they beating to the rhythm of life?

No, my friends,
the rhythm of life is joyous!
Life is a loud song sung by tireless voices.

Can you hear the drums?
Are they beating to the rhythm of remembrance?

Yes, my friends,
the rhythm of remembrance is melancholy.
Remembrance is a soft song sung by knowing voices.

Listen to the drums, and
remember the drummers…
