Deadly Ruse

What deadly ruse~! - can the brave fighter trust

The treacherous and cunning  detainee

That waving the white flag, seems to adjust

So peacefully to his captivity?



But then he turns, the villain Fedayeen,

A Saddam loyalist, trained to deceive,

Watch out brave fighters keep alert and keen

Don’t drop your guard, or else you come to grief!



Long-suffering Kurds and Shiites - so let down

Twelve years ago, when we so fast withdrew

Then you were brutally all overthrown

And  the result,- more suffering came to you.



Saddam took vengeance for your rising up

And all the world  saw how he gassed and smote,

But now we stay and steel your beaten back

This time we  stand with you - so help us God.!



Your great oppressors, Saddam’s Fedayeen,

Trained well for murderous brutality,

Commit the shameless acts that contravene

The rules of war and of humanity



Ghouls keep their own from water and from food,

And as civilians dressed sue for sweet peace,

Then the fake soldiers turn around and shoot

Or else delight in foul atrocities atrocities



Regard for human life is weakness,-thus

Your velvety kid gloves warriors take off,

And use the gloves of Greek god Hephaestus

Well tempered gloves, well wrought for fisticuffs.



Some writers take the pen to emphasize,

Maliciously the aspects negative,

And rooting for the fiend, they minimize

Superb attainments that the brave achieve!.



Press coverage is slanted - some hearts bleed-

Although there  is for it no need at all,

For bleeding‘s sake alone the midgets bleed,

And  keep on warning of what may befall.



How many horrors are not yet revealed

Let time disclose the fact most foul and grim

Children and women serve as human shield

The glory Hallmark of Saddam's regime.



Praise to the valiat heroes, praise! give praise!

They put for us their young life on the line,

The bring deliverance  and in  the maze

Of war’s turmoil their glory halos shine.

Children and women are driven forward as human shields by Fedayeen paramilitary thugs.

Elizabeth,
In his hour he will remember each face of thoses women and children as his own life is driven from him... How one man can be so evil as to do the ugly things he does, not just to us but his own people... He is surely a true demon..
A great piece you write with so much from your heart.
Peace and Love
