1964

Johnson’s escalation in Vietnam
14 you see
Good shape
Judo, swim team, lifeguards
Almost eagle scout
Draftable
Fight or die or both
It was them or me
So I fought back
Against the Bastards
Running this Empire
The Greatest Generation

Half century later
Still fighting back
Against the new generation of bastards
Running this bastard empire
My  bastard  generation
Them or me
Who will it be
