America's Wailing Wall

We have a living wailing wall
In America today.
It lives, it breaths
And cries out,
Loudly,
With the spirits who live inside!
The men who gave their lives in Nam
To finally end the curse of war.
A reminder of the futility
Suffered by men once more.
"When will it end?", we said again,
As we had said before.
Unlike Jesus, once for all,
Was Viet Nam really
The last great war?
Or will that threat return again
For man's final great Amen?
