Benghazi Don't Forget
To hear the short heartwrenching eulogy,--
“The dedicated bright Ambassador was slain,
Mowed down by forces of rank infamy.”
Who toiled relentlessly for Libya's weal,
In it’s transition from grim tyranny.
And keep it from of some future unknown ill
And had to come to grips with many a chore
Most dire when the darkest force from hell
Mowed down the dedicated bright ambassador.
In independence and integrity
But paid for noblest efforts with his life
In callous and well-planned fatality
Shared in the dedicated envoy’s death,
When mortar grenades aiming cunningly
Took quick away their staunch and valiant breath.
Priorities in crises do reveal
when values bow to rank frivolities.
And down careens the haughty steamship's keel.
And then let down by craven apathy.
To suffer without help the deadly blow
Lo! murdered by a two-fold enemy.
Your caring and committed delegate!
Who suffered for your sake a cruel fate
Dubbed now forevermore "Bhengazi Gate".
Of love for suffering humanity
And love lives on - forever on and on
To shine as bright enduring legacy.

The Darkest Force From Hell
How unfortunate that children die daily to bombs dropped without warning too - sorry 3 died, but to end violence against someone's homeland does not make the bomb a dark force, it makes the perpetrators murderers. Nice tribute, interesting sentiment - Lady A
Benghazi don't forget
Thanks for commenting.
The violence and the murder of dedicated people cries to heaven.
AMEN
