Raging war
In a foreign land
U.S. Soldiers

Made a stand  

Many died
In Vietnam
Was it right?
Or was it wrong? 

Violent protest
In the street
American citizens
Saw defeat 

Nightly news
Brought the pictures home
Radio listeners
Heard the songs 

Love and hate
War and peace
60’s chaos
Never ceased  

Battered Soldiers
Fought and died
The cost of freedom
Oh so high

Strong emotions

In the USA

Sounds familiar
A lot like today
