The Vietnam War Moratorium
Explosions in the jungle.
Propellers slicing through the air, keeping machine guns
and their operators afloat,
spraying bullets into the canopy.
These same propellers save lives as well, transporting wounded
warriors to a safe place,
away for the bloody hell of the jungle.
The make-shift signs are thrusted up and down,
moving with the crowd.
Echos of voices amplified throughout the center of America's
capitol.
Young, dirty men and women chant,
scolding their own government.
The large lawn of the National Mall
which is supposed to display our country,
does exactly that on this day.
The air is humid and hostile,
almost like the jungle.
I like all the detail you used in your slice, good job!
