' The Attack of the New Year '...

I found myself within a tent of twenty men with rockets blowing up planes and men every night..

Impossible to sleep..

I understand why you do not understand..

It is not normal to Kill..

But, it was normal in Vietnam..

The young, do not understand my words, but, perhaps you do..

It is Difficult for a Buddhist to exist within this violence..

I was shot at many times but somehow My Angel would warn me..

I understand why, you do not understand..

Most Humans have never experienced Death or War..

They think that it is far from them and therefore does not exist..

Guess what?, War Exists within your Mind and Soul...
