Children in the Darkness
The author of this poem is written by Henry M Bechtold in 2010. Just before christmas, he was in Saigon, a place in Vietnam and he was trying to write some poems there. He often goes back to Vietnam because his "soul lives in Vietnam.: This could imply that he himself was one of the soldiers fighting in the war then and as with many war veterans, they find it difficult to adapt back to their own homeland after the suffering they had seen. This poem was written after Henry watched the television and saw the picture of a small boy with a helmet and an automatic rifle.
This poem reminds how war can greatly impact the lives of soldiers who had experienced the war. The war might be over, however, the images of the war still remain vivid in the minds of the soldiers. It will change the lives of their and definitely, their lives will never be the same. They will become disabled for the rest of their lives. Nobody will gain anything out of war. It will ruin many lives and lives of their loves one. However, if soldiers can step out of their fears and worry, I believe that they will do even better in their future.
