Premium Member Oldest Museum In Iraq
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....

Flasher Mac
There was an old hooker named Black,
She turned the air blue in Iraq,
In stilettos of ink
And her curlers of pink,
She flashed in her apricot mac.*

*Mackintosh (raincoat)

For Lisa’s Tickle me Pink contest...

He bites his tongue when they burn the Red, White, and Blue
   When professional athletes take a knee, he doesn't say 'boo'
I asked him how he can take it, how he keeps silent
   Replied he, For them I fought in Afghanistan and Iraq too...

vote for your freedom
              before it’s taken away
              do cross party lines


               remember Iraq
               people were killed in long lines
               dying to be free

Staunch, spine straight as a flagpole
    Chin tucked into neckfolds of flesh
  Face itch, lips blubber incessantly... 

    Hips thrust forward... twin bulldozers
  Life expectancy, a speck in a sandstorm
    Rows of medals under gray sash, Iraq...

Iraq

please let this be no more
just let them use the phone 
so that they can all go home

because they're putting up with our stife...

Premium Member Mommy Could Never Get Enough Hugging
mommy dropped to her knees
right there in the Kansas City airport
pulling her baby into her body
She could never get enough hugging
Her daughter was thrilled to see her
and luckily did not understand how close mommy came
to not ever returning home from Iraq...

Do You Remember Him
I used to see him on the news
Protesting with his points of view
About the war out in Iraq
How we should bring all our troops back.
He had a lot of things to vent
So moved to London with his tent
The Wedding came
"Move on" they said
A few weeks later he was dead....

My Abc's In 2007
Aberrant
Blind Bushs'
Crude callous
Debauched democracy,
Elevating
Fabricated facts
Garnering grizzly
Hell
In Iraq.
Jaundiced justified
Killing
Myriad
Numbers
Of other
People,
Quickly
Reassuring
Safety
To those
United ultras'
Vaporous vapid
World with
Xyloid
Yuppie
Zombies....

Premium Member The Shepherd
The Lord is my Shepherd,
He watches o're my flock,
Our oldest in Casper,
Our third in Dexter,
Our youngest in heaven
Welcomed her dad,
Our second in National Guard
Headed for Iraq.
Their children and spouses,
Our relatives and friends,
And I ask Peace and Happiness
For the whole world.

Amen...

Placebo Wars
?
Why
are
Marines
and Army
Soldiers fighting in
Afghanistan and
Iraq, against the Taliban and the Al Qaida
Against an enemy who hides in the mountains,who once ruled by intimidation
We are not winning these wars, we are merely a placebo,being injected into an infection
of radicals, when will it end...

CNN: 
Three minutes 
Focus on home security, 
Iraq war, 
Who is con? 
Who is pro? 
The tolerance is absurd, 
New Orleans is sinking, 
Another commercial. 
I pulled out the electrical wire 
I took the TV set 
Out. 
I reserved the whole day 
For my garage sale. 
I will content 
With Fifty dollars 
Return...

Anti Terrorist
The next world war
yet another prophecy predicted
Uncle Sam is a bad bad man
George W Bush is a terrorist
we must stop it before it's too late
Iraq is not the threat
the axis of evil begins in Amerika
a dangerous deadly regime
U.S now a police state
governed by a greedy dictator
stop the evil
war is not peace...

Missing My Son
My son my son, how i wish you were home. 
The time is coming soon that you will be home; 
I can’t wait to see your freckles that appear on your face. 
I know (Iraq) has been a pain in your ace, but remember these things! That when 
you come home from being in Iraq you will have so much made your home a better 
place....

Conspiracy? No Such Thing?
Go to war in Iraq. Deny everything
Just don’t look back

Solider I gave you a direct order to shoot that woman
The one in all black
She’s wearing a bomb
Concealed in her wrap

I don’t care if you can’t see it
The US government doesn’t pay you to think
Quick shoot her in the head
Before she teaches her son to hate and kill back....

We, Conjurers
We, the conjurers 

The USA wants Venezuela
And the worlds` press follow suit
demanding an undemocratic coup.
We have been here before
we remember the vilifying of Iraq 
and Libya those two counties were lied about
before being invaded and occupied.
Our compliance with this crime is staggering
and do nothing for peace in the world....
