Thorn In The Heart

             I loved you and our children much more than I love myself.
         Be a soldier I was far away from my lovers, the war broke my
         dream, and I did not have a chance to get it back that I never
         wish to be.


             My  heart  was  renting  when  I  saw  the  French  militarist
         soldiers beating our people, and forced the people working hard
         at  day  and  night  as  the  slaves  for  their  profits.  Sometimes  I
         fought with a French militarist soldier to protect someone by my
         emotion. Cause in the bottom of my soul I felt hurt as they were
         and grew angry on my hands when I looked at them lying on the
         ground with tearful eyes.

             You already knew that they were the weaker at the front of
         the rifle...! They did not have anything on their hand to defense
         for survival. They only have backs to bending, cried with their
         eyes,  spoke  out  the  conjuration  words  for  their  master  and
         working as slavers.

             I  also  knew  that  sometimes  I  shared  the  painful  with
         someone by my mistake because they were Vietminh’s agents or
         the  hidden  soldier.  They  will  hold  their  guns  to  shoot  at  me
         instead for thanks me.

             Communist  people  were  cold  blood.  They  never  have
         emotion in their heart and any change their mind for the people
         who  had  helped  them,  even  their  blood  brother..!  They
         advantaged the people’s emotion to kill the people in the dark
         more than they had said to be friend with the people. The more
         Vietminh  said  they  loved  the  people;  the  more  Vietminh  used
         the secret agents to kill their same race. It could not affect my
         soul, because I had learned from my father about love, At the
         schools, I learned about sharing with the people. Also, they were
         Vietnamese like me.

             They wanted to kill me instead to befriend or thanks. It was
         their problem, not me. I understood that I would kill them for
