Names of fathers
Sons
Brothers
A Era
Of Poll Pot
Of the 60's and 70's
Names on the Wall
Never forgotten
Dupont
Agent Orange
Defoilant
a time of confusion
Civil Rights
Causes
Free love
Drugs
Experimentation
A Rebellious America
In the world
Reflections on the wall
Of Daughters and sons
Trying to know their fathers
Lost in the Jungles of a Political war
Against communism
A walk of history
From Army to Marines
That fought for freedom
Bleed the Flag
For their families
Of the future
The Black Wall
Names that will never be forgotten
