PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

written for the anti government fighters in Libya who keep slogging it out even though they are out armed and out trained in the matters of warfare. To think, this all started with peaceful demonstrations inspired by them seeing what was going on in Tunisia and Egypt and they want their rights too and it has escalated into a war brought on by a man who desperately wants to cling to power. He can claim all he wants that he is doing this for his country but when his son goes on Television and talks about killing the rats door to door to squash this up rising that could make the whole world's blood run cold. I just pray when all this is over that in the vacuum of the aftermath of war that someone worse doesn't slip into power and that the people carefully choose how their government will be changed and just who they will elect to lead them and hopefully finally start seeing to their needs rather than lining the leader and his inner circle's pockets with the country's oil revenues. This poem is my prayer and hope for the tenacious brave people of Libya.........
