Oldest museum was built in Iraq
Built by Babylonian princess – fact.
No one knows her name.
She was just a dame.
If she’d been male, they’d have kept track.
there are soldiers in the war
please let this be no more
just let them use the phone
so that they can all go home
inocent live are being taken
i think we all must awaken
no one has a right to lose a life
because they're putting up with our stife
They say a man that knows no fear
can never be truly brave
and the man who points the gun
will never be enslaved
we set you free from tyranny
with tanks and bombs and planes
we hope this brings you comfort
as you lay down in your graves

Gentlemen of the Press,
I have been asked by the United States Congress
To say that our missiles can be aimed with pin-point accuracy.
Oops! Sorry that one just crashed into the sea.
Ah yes! As I was saying ……
Dive!! Dive!! Dive for cover, before it goes bang
That missile’s the latest Boom-a-Rang.
Those stupid Aussies don’t have a brain
They wanted to use their missile again.
Our soldiers are gone off to a far place, fighting so Americans can be safe. Their away
from their families and all of their friends but were keeping our heads up hoping that
this war will soon end. My brother is a soldier over in Iraq but like everyone else were
praying that he'll soon be back. He knows that we love him and he knows that we care but
this is his job so its only fair.

On Emigrating To Iceland After Iraq
Consider first the Alabama heat.
Consider next the toad
still as a turd on this rural bridge
rupture slung across a stream
where offal floats,
where clumps are belching.
Note the toad, the reeks
that genie up beside it.
Then remember Iceland
and the freshets of its Spring.
Iceland had no toads,
no reeks to genie up beside them.

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.

I'am always thirsty.
Yerning for your love.
Though you are so far away.
your all i'am thinking of.
The days are long and lonely.
The nights are restless.
The children fight.
The money is tight.
And all I think of is you.
You made a sacrific.
For all the world to see.
But you've always been a hero,
To our children and to me!
Do not be a hero.
Keep your head down low.
I will be there with you.
My heart will follow where ever you may go.
you enter into my innermost calmness
chafed naught a crawling grapevine
and speared mustered seeds I'd beckoned
your tenderness your infamous timely
sorted kisses morbidly missed over time
driving over gravel searching for hidden
scents of blushing rosebuds that catered
to my senses why I'd explored your shyness
that emptied my kindness beyond a darkened
cave a sinking floor causing me to blush
beneath the mauve sky hidden
along Baghdad's humble shoreline
how dare you send him
send him to die for YOU?
do you even know his name
his age his race do you HUH
if his name is read off of some paper
for some tribute to the dead soldiers
you gonna have a bullet with your name on it
how dare you not listen to the rhymes that
drop like bombs in vietnam
i fear with him
its gonna be just like armagedon
SHALL I GO ON?
i cry out among the young
and we cry out to jesus
family in iraq and you all
dont seem to see us
BRING MY BROTHER HOME
