Yasmin Ilahi Poet I do not know?

War In Iraq

Suicide bombers what gives you the right to take away peoples lives.
Sadam Hussain, Bush and Blair.  U.k and U.S, your all unfair.

Woman, men, children dying.  Bombs, rifles and aircraft flying.
Friendly fire, t.v reporters.  The families waiting for loved ones to return.

How long will it go on? Revenge, power,lies and deceit.  When will it end.
Tell me what will it achieve. Peace and harmony love not war.

We don't need this evil anymore.
