IRAQ FOR IRAQIS

Contributed by Steeleyes on Monday, 15th December 2003 @ 05:45:16 AM in AEST
Topic: political

The news is good there’s no mistake
This time no danger, he’s not a fake
Autocratic rule will always fall
It sometimes takes time that is all

Remember Amin, Ceucescu, Honecker?
Remember Jaruzelski, Gottwald, the Shah?
Some you will, some you won’t
But wielding power, now they don’t

Dictators do fall in the end
By their own peoples hands
And win out with dignity and pride
Not because a foreign power commands

In this case he’s STILL gone
And for that we must be glad
For he WAS an awful man
But there will be no peace
Until the Iraqis are free
This is what we must understand

There must be dignity
And a freedom to choose
Perhaps even the Shi-ite way
And with occupiers out
And staying out
No longer to have their say

Sovereign nations need their pride
And will have it at any price
Let no prideful U.S. power
Think less will suffice

Saddam is gone
That is totally good
That does NOT mean
The coalition acted as it should

Get out now while you still can
You can’t control our fate
We don’t need your arrogance
Or need your childish hate

A new Iraq can now be born free of Saddam
No, not perfect in every way
But an Iraqi for Iraqis
And for Iraqis it will stay

Well done, things like this need to be said and understood, and you did so in a very good poem. I have always been anti-war, and even now that they have got Saddam, i will never say that going to war was a good thing. Well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
