Analysis of Night time Napalm Dreams



Night time napalm dreams
of sending souls to h***,
heaven too or
Nirvana
Night time napalm dreams
of toasting brown
yellow skins
on the ground
Night time napalm dreams
of pyrotechnic skill
that would flatten
every VC hill
Night time napalm dreams
of fire breeze
sent through forest
killing trees
Night time napalm dreams
without regret
without shame
But the pilot can't forget
Night time napalm
