Hope
Vietnam,
Communist Politburo, do you hear my voice of gratitude?
I
have returned home once, and I have heard your voice --
Every loudspeaker that blares at dawn and dusk,
Telling me how lucky I am to be an American,
Not being controlled in the realm of expression
America, you have always been the light of the world;
Myriad sacrifices of your sons and daughters to preserve man's voice...
