[bodytext] => They were ruled by a foreign country
By arrogant people far away They hated the sight of their uniforms And the price they had to pay They were economic tyrants There to exploit their land To take their raw materials “Submit to our will” their demand But in the peoples’ hearts and minds They saw them as oppressors They struggled to loose their grip To punish these aggressors And so they began the struggle The fight to the bitter end To rid themselves of the tyrants Their country to defend Using any means that came to hand They were finally able to say The ugly foreigners had truly gone On Iraqi Independence Day O/ “All along the road, behind stone walls, hillocks, and houses militiamen from village and farm made targets of the bright red coats of the British soldiers.” [comments] => 0 [counter] => 163 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
