Historic Moment
Historic moment for Democracy
And sacrifices paid off a hundred fold
They voted valiantly for liberty-
Democracy, though fledgling, does take hold.
The people came, though bombers did explode,
They spurned the mortar rounds with bravery,
They came in multitudes to cast their vote.
To vote for freedom and for liberty.
A memorable day in history!
First time appearance in the middle east,
But overcoming dread, the torch of liberty
Burnt out the henchmen and the terrorists.
Defeatist senators, let them be awed,
And take their utterances back in shame,
Iraqis with the help of allies fought
And henceforth never more will be the same.
Observe oh world the splendid exercise
Of freedom building slowly by degrees,
So worthy of heroic sacrifice
That brought the terror monsters to their knees.
Iraqis leap high with exuberance,
And show their tinted thumb upon the road
As the advance with joy and confidence
The fledgling steps to freedom planned by God.
