Guiding Light

A US report states that a gigantic mirror may be put into the Vietnam sky to provide both sun- light and moonlight for twenty-four hours a day.

All in a hot and copper sky The bloody sun at noon

Right up above the mast will stand, And so will the bloody moon.

One at a time, one might have thought, Would surely have sufficed For those whom Cardinal Spellman calls The chivalry of Christ.

But only those with keener sight Distinguish right from wrong And always miss the Vietnamese When bombing the Vietcong.

For can it fairly be denied They both look much the same, Which makes it very hard indeed For airmen taking aim?

But those who own a double light By which they clearly see Bomb all the people all the time For more security.

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS
