Brave Innocence

He said he was eighteen

And smiled down from the screen,

A smile so sweet and bright

He said he would love to fight

And surely he was unafraid

To go to war- the young man said.



His face was dimpled, sweet and round

His map and gear for Kuwait bound

“Al Qaeda is gearing up again

And I am ready!” - this young man

So brave and so sincere

Lord spare him to know fear!



His pack stood ready by his side

Soon he’ll be going to Kuwait;

“Al Qaeda foes they are in league,

With Hussein Saddam the old pig,

The linkage is too obvious

They’r joint like Baalam and his Ass!”.



Pray God that divine Providence

Protect the life and innocence

That he will not know fear

This  gutsy soldier dear!
