Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
On the 5th Anniversary of Iraq’s Deconstruction
On the 5th Anniversary of Iraq’s Deconstruction
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
Prisoners in their own land
A million Iraqis
Dead
Mission accomplished
The man grinned and
said
Plunder, rape, destruction
Occupation's
output
Islamic tensions fed
Dehumanize
Western
soldiers
A new zombie race
Grab a man by the
jaw
Blow off his face
The war without end
continues
It’s journey through the gates of hell
For
oil and dominion
Babylon’s a notch in the hard sell
To a Middle Eastern conquest
A 21st century
Crusade
Biblically prophesized
Rivers of
blood
Gurgle and roil
As we are foisted
On our own
blade
The national nightmare
Lives on and on
As US
soldiers chase
Down a labyrinth of horror
Alleyway to
alleyway
Yet can not outpace
The terrorist
legions
Ghosts
Millions and millions
Of
Misdeeds
Plunder our soul
Feed the disease
Victor
or vanquished
Only time will tell
As racist
exploits
Continue to pave
The highway
To
hell
