[bodytext] => The puppets will play on Doing their best To uphold the promises To paymaster West The Iraqis know Their government’s a fake But most will play along Their time they will take To get the Americans out That is their goal Then they can start living Heart and soul The occupiers right now Are a necessary evil No love is lost On the Western devil The dollars are needed To repair their land Devastated by sanctions, War and Saddam But so many have died In their ruined towns So much revenge To be passed around No love is lost For those who came Who killed on a lie And invaded in shame To devastate and kill In shock and awe An occupying force So arrogant and raw No meeting of minds Is possible where That lofty arrogance Meets an angry despair No cultural exchange Can ever be When occupying force Deals in misery Herding people Like cattle or sheep Screaming demands Making men creep Around their houses On bended knee Think how it would feel To you and me Oh yes, there are excuses For an arrogance there Reasons for abuse For bringing despair But look for no love Of your aggressive men As the Iraqis assert Their rights and then Tell you to leave Unwanted from there Despised as infidels Who stand and stare Recognise you’re not wanted And seen as low grade Realise the reality Of Abu Ghraib Know they’ll keep you For a few short years To repair what you cost them In pain, death and fears Don't look for happy faces Except when you leave Look only for the exit And the sigh they will heave [comments] => 3 [counter] => 173 [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. ©
