Final Say

Listen to the ghost of Ho Chi Minh,
that you don't commit the same sin
over and over again,

where is true power
but in deep passion,
not in mercenary gun-fire
of many ill-missioned men,

beyond victory and/or defeat of military battle
remains the question of political survival,
as you become the one you kill
and part of the problem,
not the solution,

to a continuing version of hell,
soulful determination will always win
in the end,

flowing gracefully
with great momentum of moral authority,
past even the pain of death,
to the Tao's final say.
