Poem
Oil or strife, is it worth all these lives
Festering carnage, thriving flies
Who's to say the region is fine
The old cliche, it will take some time

Lets scroll back to August 90
Iraq in Turmoil, to Saddams insanity
Economic sanctions to economy draining
Richness to want, from Kuwait's gaining

Over the border the Iraqi's spill
Fill their pockets, take their fill
No respect to those who fall
Under Saddam, they have a ball

How weak they are, hostages they take
Sweep aside all in their wake
Cowards they are, and prove to be
Working to Saddam's insanity

On the apron, there appears to be
An Airliner, British Sovereignty
As they disembark to the airport lounge
They let them speak, propaganda sound

Governments meet to discuss this crisis
OPEC panic, their oil prices
Battle groups, now summoned again
More despair, more bloody pain

In the Gulf are assembled so
Carrier groups, awaiting to go
F18's from the US of A
Load their bombs and have their say
British Tornado's, straffing troops
Falling dead in drunken stoops

Desert warfare for the Western World
Not seen since, Rommel's skill
Their training and will, are put to the test
Republican guard to be their best

Invasion set, mechanics roll
To free Kuwait, the Ultimate goal
Coalition troops start their advance
Iraqi conscripts, no hell of a chance

Encroaching armies, from the Western World
Mimicing Rommel, with his Desert skill
Driving the enemy from their plunder
To feel the wrath of organised thunder

Kuwaities Liberated, February 2001
A few months after it all began
Infidels wiped, from their floor
Infidels not here no more

Conscripts, possible Republican Guards
Down death highway in stolen cars
F18,s from the USA, soar above to have their say
Screeching down like hungry birds
This mile of carnage, will soon be heard
The plumes of death, rise to the sky
Iraqi families will wonder why
On this point it must be said
On Saddams head, his Nationals dead

The clear up operation has just began
Burning Oilwells, cloudy towns
Choking fumes will last for months
Invading Kuwait, was not top trumphs

Peace regained in Kuwait City
Where in fact it should always be
Biblical invasions of other races
Never thought i would view those places

Watching the news March 2003
I see Iraq on my TV
Discussions aplenty on WMD
Wait till tomorrow, and i will see >
