Poem Artwork

 MIA/BNR

 

Forty plus years.

We’ve been reminded

Letters of tears

Have stained our years.

 

Today, I was curious

No news not good.

Months gone by

This I’ve understood.

 

Googled his name

Library of Congress

New PDF found

FLASH my alertness.

 

Shame on you

A letter would do

No respect for family

Nonclassified abused.

 

Dear Lord, help me

Process what I’ve read

Their story’s changed

All these years mislead.

That's the problem with all the intrigue and classified documents that shouldn't be secret. We have been and are becoming a more paranoid nation more concerned about “leaks” and their consequences than the truth. From my perspective, getting the dirty laundry out and letting it hang, clears the air quite quickly.
