Iraq-Isis
Soldiers dying
Children crying
In a strange and far off land.
Bullets killing
Bombs so chilling
This the work of our own hand?
We are the ones who did invade
Duped by leaders we did trust.
Misled by claims of mass destruction,
Hard to ask – but now we must.
Did our leaders so betray us -
Sell their souls for desert oil?
Have they shamed our mighty nation -
Brought dishonor to our soil?
Will we now repeat this process
Raining death on one and all?
While we try to kill the evil
All the innocents will fall.
