Vietnam War Death By Colours Poem

Agent Orange to kill vegetation
to deny enemy VC places to hide
to locate range find target exterminate
with imposed technical efficiency
moon scope landscape with bomb loads…

Agent Blue to kill crops
to starve enemy Viet Cong
it was war on food production
yet civilian slow death by starvation
was collateral desirable military strategy…

DOW chemists conspired to kill kill kill…
with every beautiful innocent colour of the rainbow? ? ?
