Poem my FIL (Vietnam Veteran) Shared with me on Memorial Day.
Posted on
This past Memorial Day I had my father-in-law (Vietnam vet) come over for some beers and burgers and he shared this poem with me. I figured it might be worth it to get out there to the world, maybe it resonates with others. I don't know. For some context he was a captain in the Army and flew Cobras in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Its pretty bleak but he is in a good place now-a-days.
If it moves ... kill it!
TO THE PUBLIC..."YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND!!!"
By "Father in Law"
Sometime latter part 2017-
beginning of 2018
"We are the damned!!! FFZ's will send us to Hell!!"
I didn't come back for this...don't you understand? I didn't come back for "thank you for your service".
WHAT!!!? …
Liars mouthing bullshit! Why you fuck'n nervous? I didn't return to forgive your cowardly fuck'n sins I'll just tell you, "it pisses me off!!", Where do I begin?!!
Should I say
"Oh thank you sir or ma'am!..
Hi! We're the boys you sent to die!!
We're back with a kinda fuck'n crazy anger! Are you afraid to hear our angry fuck'n candor?!
I didn't come back for crying I didn't come back for lying I tell the brutal truth so just stay fuck'n clear! Oh, pardon my holy ass and give me another fuck'n beer!
FuckU, it's how I think and act…
every fucking day, living out my life
in no fuck'n special way!
I went across the ocean into the jungles deep! killing without emotion! nightmares in drunken sleep!
Flew up in the mountains, they killed us everyday! Living in the compounds drinking my life away!
Killing, living, and dying, all for a manufactured truth! We came back old and haunted; all without our youth!!!
Forever changed we wear a mask...A mask of twisted hate... For this we slowly lose our minds...It's our designated fate
We are your hidden sins...your sins of fuck'n disregard... Safe at home kept you so clean…
your fuck'n little mind unscarred!
I didn't come back for this...don't you understand?
I scream out my pain n' anger every fuck'n day! My love is always stranded, no one will ever stay! I live my life alone with longing and regret! Trying to shake this guilt... I never will forget!
You speak with ignorant ranting of how our fucked up war was bad! 58000 young men left families devastated, broken and fuck'n mad!!! Acceptable losses, Kia's, our deaths were all pre- planned!!!
God damn you ignorant assholes hiding in the homeland!
I didn't come back for this...don't you understand?
....maybe you just don't understand the murderer in me!!!
Come on motherfucker…
Thank me for my service!
I...didn't...come...back...for this!!!
