[bodytext] => You are being told lies about Iraq The troops will tell you soon enough When they dare When the fear of Bush and their superiors is not there When they talk with you alone In whispers at first Then in tears Then in rage So many brothers… …dead So many minds… …destroyed So many lies… …told You are being told lies about Iraq And those who Could tell you the truth Believe you wouldn’t want to hear Or else keep silent Out of loyalty Out of patriotism Or fear You are being told lies about Iraq Military Intelligence Controls this with fear You are being told lies about Iraq It doesn’t suit them Or the politicians For you to hear You are being told lies about Iraq About victory About freedom About democracy Before, the lies were On WMDs On terrorism On al Qai’da Don’t believe for a moment You were told lies In error You are being told lies about Iraq They keep telling them Because the truth is too bad Because although they were wrong They can’t admit it It just CAN’T be true So the lies go on While each mother grieves For another lost son While the anger grows to a scream of hate While a land descends to chaos While Bush squirms for a way to escape The lies go on And the consequences of their lies Trauma Disfigurement Dismemberment Horrific Injury Destruction Death And behind these, an awesome horrific sound The screams of rage at American lies By Iraqis and U.S. Troops both While a son on both either side… dies You are being told lies about Iraq [comments] => 3 [counter] => 152 [topic] => 41 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

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. ©
