Vietnam War Anthology
By Cory Butlin
Who am I?
Newspaper comic strip:
My drawings:
My songs:
Given up
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
Viet congs my enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of killing
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what is going wrong with me
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares
Viet congs my enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of killing
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what's going wrong
With me
VIET CONG
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my viet cong misery
Before I went to war my mates and I loved to make up songs and sing. I lost that passion during the war but after I started to hear protest songs. It inspired me to write my own protest song.
My poems:
Indochina
Ending many lives
Taunting, threatened, trapped
Never ever sleeping
Agent orange
Mates
