Incwadi ka-Edward Tick, Ukuza ekhaya eVietnam, yenziwe yimibongo ethandekayo nenamandla. Kodwa andinakuzibamba ndinqwenela ukuba bebengafunwa. Kanye njengokuba amanye amalungu eVeterans For Peace ethetha ngokuhlonipha amagqala ngokuyeka ukwenza amanye amagqala, ndinqwenela ukuba singayihlonipha le mibongo ngokususa imfuno - kwaye ngokucacileyo iyimfuno, hayi umnqweno - wokuba nabani na abhale enye into. bona. Ezinye iintlobo zemibongo ziya kwamkeleka!
Imibongo ithatha isihloko samagqala ase-US abuyela eVietnam ukuya kufumana uxolelwaniso, kwaye-kwiimeko ezininzi - ukusombulula unxunguphalo lwabo lwengqondo ngendlela amashumi eminyaka yonyango e-United States engazange ikwazi. Ndiyathemba ukuba abantu bayakwazi ukufunda le mibongo bekhumbula isidingo sokuthintela nantoni na efana nemfazwe yase-Asia-mpuma ye-Asia ukuba yenziwe kwakhona, kunye nokuphelisa isohlwayo esibuhlungu sezemali sase-Afghanistan ngoku esibonisa into eyenziwa ngurhulumente wase-US eVietnam emva kokuyeka ukuqhubhisa kunye ukutshisa indawo. Mhlawumbi umntu uya kuyiqonda imfuneko yokucela uxolo, ukuqonda, imbuyekezo kunye noxolelwaniso, ngokukhawuleza kunokuba kamva, e-Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, njalo njalo.
Nanku omnye wemibongo kaTick:
Ve: Ukubuya
Kweli hlabathi lishushu, limanzi, liluhlaza
Ndibuyela ekubhaduleni phakathi
iintaba eziqingqiweyo, iipagodas ezenziwe ngumoya,
kunye nobuso obungenakubalwa obumibimbi ebonakala ngathi
ziqingqwe ngoothixo kwizigqubuthelo zobuso zokubulaleka novuyo.
Ezi ibe ziibhakana zam kunye neenqaba zomthandazo
undifowunela ephinda-phinda
ukuqinisa imilenze kunye nemiphunga yam,
ukunyuka phezulu kangangoko ndinako,
ukufuna into engaphaya kwesi sibhakabhaka sivuthayo
nangaphantsi kolusu lwethu olushwabeneyo.
Kulo nyaka ukuzula kwam kuya kuba
ezindulini nasezintsikeni zezi ntaba;
mhlawumbi ukujonga impepho, kwichibi lentlanzi,
emehlweni omntwana omnyama okanye uncumo lomdala,
kwintyatyambo yasendle elahlekileyo nethobekileyo,
into endingenakuze ndiyibone yonke imizamo yam.
