[bodytext] => In grief and sorrow marched the mourners' train To hear the short heartwrenching eulogy,-- “The dedicated bright Ambassador was slain, Mowed down by forces of rank infamy.” “Hands on the task " Ambassador was he, Who toiled relentlessly for Libya's weal, In it’s transition from grim tyranny. And keep it from of some future unknown ill He toiled with all his heart to serve them well And had to come to grips with many a chore Most dire when the darkest force from hell Mowed down the dedicated bright ambassador. He so desired Libya to thrive, In independence and integrity But paid for noblest efforts with his life In callous and well-planned fatality Three men of grace, spunk and integrity Shared in the dedicated envoy’s death, When mortar grenades aiming cunningly Took quick away their staunch and valiant breath. A victim likewise of bald policies.- - Priorities in crises do reveal when values bow to rank frivolities. And down careens the haughty steamship's keel. Slain twice, first by the foul external foe And then let down by craven apathy. To suffer without help the deadly blow Lo! murdered by a two-fold enemy. Benghazi Oh Benghazi don't forget Your caring and committed delegate! Who suffered for your sake a cruel fate Dubbed now forevermore "Bhengazi Gate". The world bows low before this champion Of love for suffering humanity And love lives on - forever on and on To shine as bright enduring legacy. (C) Elizabeth Dandy .

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. ©
