Free Plots for US Serviceman Who Died With Honor…
or Otherwise Qualified

By Paula De Marta, 1969
 
A mother’s twenty-year old son is dead.
Somewhere in a Florida newspaper she read:

“Free Plots for US Servicemen Who Died With Honor…or Otherwise Qualified”

She called, and they came to see the color of her skin
Nobody wants to see anyone from within.

“You’re black--you’re not qualified” so they said
A mother’s twenty-year-old son is dead.

Is that why we take the Christ out of X-mas?
Merry Vietnam War.
