Gamble could submit his "short listed" (at

"Regrets Of The Nam":
----
Searching over 5.1 million records... Please be Patient.
Name: Gary Gamble
Gamble, Gary
- Regrets of the Nam
Regrets of the Nam
Perhaps someday when honesty is closer, more evident,
Words will replace the thoughts and feelings, so prevalent.
For now, I am gone across a lonely, regretful brine,
To seek undaunted peacefulness for my troubled mind.
How despicable is a child man, to enhance wrath upon his quaker,
Knowing how frivolous he is upon his own chosen acre.
After so very long, my conscience is the stolid host,
Of afflictions imposed upon those I endeavored to care for most.
Let mankind be schooled, especially those deceived, heartless skeptics,
Love for your fellow man, why ever lost, is as a soul torn from life's epic.
The bitterness and regrets of war, beyond patriotic domestic integrity,
Is a sad legacy imposed on children by evil and greedy hypocrisy.
