21st Century Myth Fabrication-H

Once Jessica Lynch of states army division
The sweet young soldier girl of twenty one
Served in Iraq invasion
Never fired her weapon
Honored  first prisoner of war woman.

Wounded with bullets and in tension 
The doctors paid her full attention
Knife wounds bullet none
Only some bones broken
Fake “rescue” shown on television.

It was nothing but fake history fabrication
Baking jingoistic cake for nation
Bogus syndication
War myth definition
Jessica, a puppet propagation.

=============================

Inspired by Reports on the net - in Monorhymed Limerick

Dr. Ram Mehta

Honorable mention

I remember this incident well, Dr. Ram. Indeed, the wool was pulled over the public's eyes. Did you see the movie "Wag the Dog" in which a fake war was orchestrated to take attention away from a president who was having an affair? Your poem describes the same type of deception. WELL DONE! Best wishes in Randa's contest (cool use of the monorhyme limerick form too-Bravo!). Love, Carolyn
