Home learning assignment Task 1

Rainbow Death

America did not foresee
Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri!
Expecting others to pay a high price.
Now thinking twice?
Toll on the innocent and unborn.

Omnipotent and disregarding who will mourn.
Reflective about all the illness, birth defects and prematurely dead.
All the deceit continues to spread!
Nefariously America was led astray -
Generations untold WILL pay -
Execrable effects of agent orange spray!



Hubert Wilson, USA

Hubert wilson was involved in the Vietnam War , he served in the USAF Security Service. He was then sent to Da Nang (an Agent Orange hotspot) in the 6924th Security Squadron. As Da Nang was regularly sprayed with agent orange , the environment was contaminated and it affected hubert wilson's health. His health problems eventually got worse, through out the war. At first it was only headaches and limb pains, then followed by the deterioration of his central nervous system ,and then he started to experience spasms and severe headaches. However, nobody could detect any specific medical conditions. Therefore, Hubert Wilson was not able to receive any medical assistance from the doctor.

In the poem, Rainbow death refers to the "Agent orange Spray" .Agent orange was a chemical substance used during the Vietnamese war against Vietnam. Agent orange was a herbicide and defoliant- contaminated with TCDD or Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin). Approximately 4.8million Vietnamese were affected by Agent Orange and which resulted in about 400,000 deaths among the Vietnamese people and many more babies deformed at birth.

Therefore, in conclusion, i think that Hubert Wilson was just trying to describe, the horrible effects of war the agent orange spray. As the agent orange spray, not just caused the innocent soldiers to suffer, but also the next generation of off springs to come.
