Here’s another short poetry submission by a fellow Vietnam War veteran.

By Pvt Gerald L. Wolf
 
 The Sun came out today,
 To shed it’s radiant beams on the soil.
 What a curious sight to behold,
 Amid all this trouble and toil.
 
 The Sun came out today,
 But it may as well not have come out at all.
 It brought along blue skies and great white clouds.
 What nerve, what gall.
 
 Yes, the Sun came out today,
 But it may as well not have come out at all.
 It came not for warmth, it came not for hope,
 It came to watch men fall!!
