VIETNAM  WAR  POETRY
​
FOUNDING POET:
   
PAUL HELLWEG 

                        ​Over There 

                        We kept telling each other
                        all you gotta do is survive
                        and the rest of your life
                        will be gravy,
                        never once
                        did we stop to think
                        what
                        all that gravy
                        was going to do
                        to our cholesterol levels
                        and waistlines.
