WHO AM I?

Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of the what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.
In Viet Nam
by Cliff Lake
Thirty years ago I left, never to be the same.
Thirty years ago I learned a country's new name.
Thirty years ago I put my uniform on.
Thirty years ago,
I went to Viet Nam.
We were a unit, we were a team, we were friends.
We were soldiers, we were The Enemy, we were the means to an end.
We were applauded, we were scorned, we were gone.
But mostly we were nameless faces,
We were in Viet Nam.
And Mr Nixon cried : "Escalate !!" and, my God, how we cried.
And the hippies cried : "We want Peace !!" and, my God, how we tried.
And our Moms and Dads watched us on the news in their homes and,
my God,
how they died.
The jungle was alive, and I descended into Hell.
The jungle was an enemy, and I hated it well.
The jungle was my hiding place, be it ever damned,
Because the jungle helped me lose myself,
Lost in Viet Nam.
And Mr Nixon cried : "Escalate !!" and, my God, how we died.
And the hippies cried : "We want Peace !!" and, my God, how we cried.
And our Moms and Dads watched us on the news in their homes and,
my God,
how they tried.
I met so many men, I watched them come and go.
I met so many people, most I would never know.
I met so many dangers, they made me what I am,
I met so many, but they're behind me,
Dead in Viet Nam.
And Mr Nixon cried : "Escalate !!" and, my God, how we tried.
And the hippies cried : "We want Peace !!" and, my God, how we died.
And our Moms and Dads watched us on the news in their homes and,
my God,
how they cried.
This poem is dedicated to my father who fought in Vietnam when he was just my age and to all those who fought in Vietnam and/or lost someone in Vietnam.
