24 That’s all there is There is no more The clock is ticking down Inexorably to war Bush at his desk, fingers drumming Blair with his kids, stares at the floor The world watches the clock Ticking down through 24 The time of slaughter grows ever closer To heart-rending screams Of dying sons And disfigured daughters This time it’s for real But in real time it’s not the president But innocents who are in danger In the cradle of civilization Death comes from the sky And the brutal stranger 24 hours And the deadline looms In every Bagdhad doorway In 5 million rooms The roulette wheel spins their fate While the world holds its breath And death can’t wait The Amerikan smiles to think of killing Such arrogance is its own fate In the coalition of the willing Willing partners forward hate These 24 hours are a deadline in the sand Like the lines of dead on the Basra road The ghosts will return ever more To haunt America 24 For Rachel Corrie (1983 – 17 March 2003) Rafah: Rachel Corrie Murdered by Israeli Army http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/WO0303/S00233.htm Rachel Corrie, Nuha Sweidan and Israeli War Crimes http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article1250.shtml voices in the storm:the road to basra http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/front...f/voices/3.html [comments] => 1 [counter] => 304 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

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. ©
