CAME TO ME TODAY.......

 Came to me today
 from one of those
 places one does
 not like to go.
 Beginning of October,
 back in 1966. Back
 three weeks when I
 realized nothing was
 strange but right there
 I fit right in. HOME
 in jungle like Viet Minh!
 Go back to The Bronx
 after being where I been?
 
 Did not take long to realize
 soon after getting back, to
 be able to trust "civilians"
 was getting to be a road block!
 
 Like a gyroscope
 off its tilt,
 wobbling around
 waiting to be
 rebuilt!
 
 Would like to say that
 was then and this is now,
 even milk tastes different
 from same old cow.
 Back round scenery has
 changed once again,
 but same old story of,
 "send one hundred thousand
 more men!" FAR AWAY!
 Somewhere, out there in
 ORWELL LAND!
 Like SOYLENT GREEN!
 BODIES ON DEMAND!
 Is it 1984, "I am in charge,
 of not being responsible. I am
 responsible to those in charge
 of not being responsible!
 or is that a Catch 22?
 
 One flew over the cukoos nest,
 are the rest of us still prisoner?
