Safe Journey on Travels you go

 the time has come for him to go
to distant places seen long time ago
to fulfill what lists there are in buckets
hope not to kick before times up

to see again the streets of Hanoi
to smell the scents of forests
where once they searched for charlie
among the reeds on paddy fields

to Saigon where the silent effigy
of the fighter stand still
where pretty girls once danced
to the yells of horny skinless people

onwards to the land of dragons
where billions built bridges
floating on clouds
watching the ravines below

towards the north
where children of the rising sun
abide still in warfare
with the worldly world

safe journey my friend
and may you find peace
in the places you go
just remember to remember me

and wish-send me a Sakura.
