The Fog of War
By: Sean M Payne
St. Paul to New Orleans…
Straight back to the Capital D.C.
How long did it take me to see?
All of the names found on the wall…
The list is long as I hear their call…
They call out to you and me…
Fight for freedom and liberty!
Tours of the Japan line, Vietnam and the South Seas…
All of the other countries that we’ve never seen…
We’ll fight for you, if you fight for me…
For a better life…What more could they need?
Love and understanding...not misery…
They fought for us, so why should it be?
That you and I enjoy Liberty…
While others live in poverty…
From Washington to the families…
Fight! Fight for your Country…
Soldiers marching, guns and all, in unity…
Stand tall, be strong and don’t be afraid to leave…
How many half to die before we agree?
That the Fog of War is blinding…
It blinds men from seeing…anything…
Through the lives and times…throughout history…
Why haven’t we learned from what we’ve seen?
The road is long and hard…To get back to “we.”
The Monuments go up...for remembering…
For the brave, the bold and the hardworking…
The Fog of War has blinded me…
Men and Women came from long and far away…
In hope of…better days…
JFK made his way through…
Through the Fog of War…Oh will there be more?
How many more...are in store?
Written on 5/29/05 in memory of Memorial Day…
Inspired by the Errol Morris film: “The Fog of War.”
Dedicated to those who did not survive the Vietnam War…No we do not forget you…
