A Poem by Gerald Seymour

Fifty years of Agent Orange,
fifty years birth defects,
fifty years dead soil,
American grass, dead soil,
Vietnamese Jovan rhino,
dead soil, thickets of bamboo,
dead soil, wild cows, dead soil,
the dwarf buffalo, dead soil,
generation after generation:
Take up the call--
Monsanto and Dow Chemical,
it's time to change--
the next fifty years,
a future without Agent Orange.
