I have a
"brother" Danny
My
adopted MIA
Missing
now for 31 years
1971...the 8th of May
A
Captain, U.S. Army
On loan
to MACV-SOG
In the
Ashau Valley, Laos
Whereabouts...known only to God
From a
city called Brookhaven
In my
home "Magnolia State"
A
Special Forces hero
Still no
one knows his fate
I think
of Danny's family
The
burden that they share
The
curse of never knowing
Could
they still hold Danny there?
He's one
of near six-hundred
Who
vanished in those hills
The
swampy jungle valleys
How many
did they kill?
And
still how many linger
In that
neverland of hope
Rescues...that would never come
Dragging
a hang-man's rope
I think
of God's own justice
The
rule "what goes around"
The day
of full accounting
When
hidden things...are found
I have a
"brother" Danny
And hope
one day I'll see
Breaking
News... on CNN
"The
Truth…set Danny free!"
