And Yet Still Must I Go (Vietnam Bound)

By Rodney Schmidt: 1969

History confirms that man never brings peace
Yet they send me to a place I’ve never been,
For a cause unknown and to accomplish what?
Why am I here? Why is anyone here,
I guess I shouldn’t complain, I did volunteer,
But that was long ago.
The colonists died so their sons would not be forced to do so too.
Yet Tony is here now.
Maybe there is something I must prove…
But only to myself.
