You are my Vietnam

By SluG

GOD! We just can't seem to win sir! Should we pull back?!

NO NO NO!! Stay up there soldiers!!

...PULL BACK!! Let's pack up and go home!


America did the only thing it could do
when it saw that we couldn't win...
...It gave up and went home...



When I saw you, I thought of a war,
a never-ending battle with the chaotic natures
of your life, and saw that I just couldn't seem to
push through your front lines,
and so I did the only thing that I could do...
...I gave up and went home...
