  Now Iraq has its own My Lai massacre and is becoming more and more a microcosmic version of Vietnam teaching the same pathetic lessons
  Will our next generation have to live these lessons again?
  A Worthy Cause
  The struggle is not so much about us anymore,
  but for the next generations
  and the world they face;
  the same lessons that must be learned,
  because we did not learn them.
  Time heals nothing by itself;
  mistakes must be confronted,
  brought to the light,
  and pain burned away
  on the altar of forgiveness.
  Cry when we have to cry,
  and the need to cry ultimately
  will be over.
  Pray fear and regret into peace and serenity
  by putting failing into God’s hands;
  and see the love the Universe offers
  that we may receive it,
  And teach that
  our sons and daughters
  and their babies
  may have life
  and a future to be,
  a worthy destiny.
