Mỹ Lai is a tiny hamlet
In South Vietnam.
Here in 1968, the US troops
Killed over five hundred
Unarmed peaceful civilians
Including women and children
And gang-raped many women,
Not sparing girls
Just twelve years old.
The Mỹ Lai Massacre
Of Nineteen Sixty Eight.
The Mỹ Lai Massacre is the blackest mark in human history after WW II. By perpetrating such violence on humanity, Uncle Sam has forfeited its right to exist
