Poems About Love, War And Just For Fun

Vietnam

Gray lead and shiny yellow brass

Pushing death

From a stainless steel gun

That's not made of flesh:

It's integral parts lubricated

By oil and grease

To withstand the heat and humidity,

But what is there to erase

The red stain

On white cloth that covers

The pain

On a moving part of anatomy

Or the look on a human face?
