1975

Introduction

While going through Vocal's Poetry tags for some reason. Pantoum caught my eye. I thought I would investigate it and the seventh 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 1975, but the USA sent their first big ground force in 1965 so that and 1975 are the significant dates I am using to share two more pro-peace messages in Pantoum form.

The music is "Vietnam" by Jimmy Cliff
