ASIAN AWARENESS II ' V jrienc we have drifted our values are now continents apart Mid i have grown impatient. You speak of your you th a}id how you are but young only once in a lifetime... but you speak of 17, 18, 19 20 or more years of youth. i speak only of the young Vietnamese fetus who is killed— bombed out from witliin her mother ' s warm womb never even given the chance to become an infant or a child or a teenager, yes, i too, grow impatient. you speak of becoming a Nisei Week queen. . . a cheer leader. . . a typical amerikan youth. i speak of the Vietnamese soldier who looks like you who is the same age as you the young fighting sister who cannot think of pleasures but ivlio can only occupy her mind with worried thoughts 116 of monsoon the floods the breaking dikes the bombs. . . heavily falling above her head. And I grow more impatient. you speak of loves and how you ' ve been hurt and i let you cry upon my shoulder, often i have cried with you But no longer will i share your tears of sorrow. . . have become too impatient. I have become angry. i will speak only of the young Vietnamese lovers. . . how years of struggle for their motherland for their children must separate them. And i will not shed my tears. I will become angry. you know, my friend, it could have been you. it could have been you. who was born a native to Vietnam, it could have been you who never had a chance to see the life outside the darkened womb. it could have been you the soldier having no other alternative than to fight or die. it could have been you who would have to part years from those you loved because you loved them and you wanted to see them free, and happy and at peace. it could have been you my friend you yes, the thought saddens me But i will n ot cry. I will become angry. I will fight. I will fight! Only when our victory is won will my anger calm will my fighting cease and will i let my tears of joy flow freely.
