Damn it, Indian John, Vietnam Vet died
and I had to read about it in the penny saver. I first met Indian John

at the local VFW. He was a Marine Vet. He died at the VA hosp.

The world was not nice to Indian John. His teen son died a year

ago in a car accident. Indian John loved that boy.

Indian John was fifty three. Vietnam ruined Indian John's life.

Here's a double 'Southern Comfort" for you John, my Seneca friend.

May your stay in 'The happy hunting grounds' be gentle.

8. Fuck what it does to all people, good or bad
black or white, whatever religion or creed, yellow or brown. It is mankind at his most base, cruel animal self. And yet it is glorified throughout times.
What a bunch of sick fucks we all are.

15.  I'm sorry, 180...
for the loss of your friend; for having to read about it like that - and for Indian John's short, sad life in this realm of sorrows. Now he's in spirit world -healed of all that troubled him - and with his dear son. Together, they will ride the winds. Peace.
