Oscar died yesterday,
A belated victim of agent Orange.
You remember agent Orange,
It was designed to kill Vietnamese.
Not the good Vietnamese,
They were the people we were defending.
Viet Cong: those were the enemies
Who believed in just one Vietnam.
We certainly didn’t want to injure or kill Americans.
This was 1969, not 1942.
We no longer used black Americans to test products
Designed for enemy combatants.
Oscar and I will never have our racquet-ball game.
He wont be part of the monthly poker party.
Tall and straight, a handsome man.
Services will be held Saturday.
