Cease-fire, 1974

Bombs aren't dropped
 anymore in Vietnam.
Bullets don't pierce
 civilian bodies.
But death still reigns
 king in the world.

War is NOT stopped
 thanks to a piece of paper.
A cease-fire is just a step
 to world conflagration.

Then, to look at all of
 these statements--does it
  mean that Vietnam is dead
   no matter what Dr. Kissinger said?

Or to paraphrase something else:
 North Vietnam sat on a wall,
 North Vietnam had a great fall,
 All of Nixon's programs and all of Nixon's plans--
 Couldn't put Vietnam back together again.

The End
