Foreign Interloper,
Your arrival long foretold
  Years prior to your birth
The message by the wind,
Your tears by way of rain
You’re desecrating footprints,
Upon my sacred earth
While for seasons unmolested,
I cherished this terrain

Foreign Interloper,
With copper clad bravura
Courage in a magazine
Frailties you ignore
Who hears your lowly moan?
Our fluids ill-assorted,
Lying on the teeming floor
Dawn is fast approaching,
Cry for now, cry for home

Foreign Interloper,
Scars you bear from long ago
Of no concern to me
Unflagging pompous pride
  Trifling anger too obscene
Ripe with righteous fruit
  Dangling from your moral tree
Peach fuzz baby face
  Sordid shards of worlds seen

Foreign Interloper
Bewildered vision less amused
  As the life blood oozes forth
Search high my azure cover
  Who is it you set free?
Absurdity of adopting war
  Redundant hostile idiocy
For honor, or for country
  Perhaps you’ll never see
Southeast Asia 1969
