April 30

United, American politicians stand, 11 September 2001 or 30 April 1975

Saigon bade farewell to the last helicopter of Freedom,

Aborting the mission for which fifty-eight thousand GIs sacrificed.

South Việt Nam suffocated as the Hanoi’s Communists have come

Venomously, Hanoi Politburo enslave forty million lives

Nostalgically, thirty-two years later, a Vietnamese American prays for his birth home…
