What do these two poems and the article say about the impact of the war on the native Vietnamese? Can you think of any other ways in which the war will impact the native Vietnamese?

People who where known to have helped the Vietcong were beaten or killed, even if it was just a rumor. Entire Vietnamese villages were killed, including the elderly, women, and small children. They were led into a ditch and shot at. People protesting the ban of some religions set fire to themselves. The war devastated crops and livestock. People, unable to make food or make money starved and died.
