US,SEARCH YOUR HEART'rated (perhaps spitedly) 3 by 2 viewers [ A few drops of blood, from the poet's heart, for blood spilt in desert] US, search your heart and say That you made a mistake; That you goofed up in Iraq And a fine mess did make; That all those WMD, In fact, did not exist; That you only made them up, Simply to make a list Of the reasons why Saddam Be eliminated-- ‘His plans to fight the US Need to be frustrated’; That you violated rules Of international law; And that your own conduct had Just too many a flaw; That you captured civilians, Ferried them far away, As the prisoners of war, to Guantanamo Bay, Including even young boys, Aged only years thirteen, Subjecting them to torture, By new methods umpteen; That the Marines you sent to Iraq to fire cannons, Broke in Abu Ghraib prison All Christian canons; That piling of naked men For cruel inspection By smiling female Marines, Does invoke revulsion; That you have verily sinned, Against man and the God. You played on democracy And human rights, a fraud! * Written in abcb, 7-6-7-6 format * The details of Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse, including sexual abuse, can be viewed at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse M C Gupta Created: 10 May 2004 as item 847511 Deleted: 25 March 2005 |
