For Hugh Thompson. Who Stood Alone. My Lai Massacre. Vietnam, 1968the helicopter blades spun behind youand all the eyes of the village were fixed on youas you stabbed your foot downinto the jungle grasswhat authority you hadIn the line of fireyou raised your handsas the silence slowly dedescendedbetween infamy and fameyour name was on the lips of both angels and demonsdid justice plant herself as an anchor in you mind?did the words speak themselves like they were spoken before time?did the blood pound in your chest as you face the seargeant down?did you feel the power of God surging all around you?
