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.
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
