Drawn From Mainline Observations
Described as a ‘nightmare scenario’
in Iraq and the Middle East;
the endless war – its mess
that afflicts people of all races.
More troops have been sent there
more personnel and other organizations
deal with their quest for peace and action
that shape the future for Iraqi people.
It’s like magnet in today’s newspapers,
where everyone gets the information;
either in television or other sources
of media networks and people’s discussions.
With emerging responses and allusions
to previous leaders in this nation;
like Franklin Roosevelt in history,
who saved this country during great Depression.
In his solitary and determination,
George Bush sees it with special attention;
his strategy, along with other options
proves his adamant decision.
Like a dynastic leader with great power
King Louis XV of French kingdom
struggled and fought many foreign wars,
he won but not successful in other invasions.
The eyes of the world remain focused on this place
where chaos, horror and mess create opposition
between Democrats and Republicans
de-funding of the war seems a solution.
Against culture and civilization,
the mark of death and destruction
shows the collapse of human castle: as God’s co-creators
in sharing his love, peace, and reconciliation.
