Introduction

While going through Vocal's Poetry tags for some reason. Pantoum caught my eye. I thought I would investigate it and the sixth result is below.

Since I passed 1900 in my Vocal stories, each of the next 106 stories may coincide with years of significance. The Vietnam War was between 1948 and 1973, but the USA sent their first big ground force in 1965 so that and 1973 are the significant dates I am using to share two more pro-peace messages in Pantoum form.

The music is "I Feel Like I'm Fixin To Die Rag" by Country Joe McDonald and The Bevis Frond
