Who do you love
you who were spit on
look around you now
at those 19 and 20 year old boys
can you believe
that you were ever that young
would you let that happen to them
you were that age
when you came back
to this day I can't say
came back ‘home’
who do you love
the country that denied you
when you most needed her support
young and insecure
nerves strung out
it let you take the brunt again
then lied to you
about Agent Orange
those were your brothers who died from it
and your nephews and nieces
who were birth-defect from it
what about the POW/MIAs
those were your brothers
that were left behind
while Kissinger jet sets
following the sun to easy times
who do you love
you love the USA
and you proudly stand
and place your hand over your heart
when its flag is raised
or you proudly hoist it yourself
to carry it in a parade
because you were the best this country had to offer
and you still are
the Vietnam vet
you took everything they could throw at you
both there and here
you persevered
because you learned to be strong
and they ended up the losers
as they were all along
