[bodytext] => Bomb blasts hit Baghdad as US military toll rises October 04, 2006 At least 12 people were killed and more than 80 were wounded today during a series of bomb attacks in a Baghdad shopping district, which officials said were intended to target the convoy of an Iraqi government minister. A woman sat weeping over the crumpled body of her son, refusing to allow police or rescue workers to take him away, while officials warned residents to leave the area for fear that more bombs were planned. Two buildings were severely damaged and dozens of shops destroyed, according to witnesses. Elsewhere, five others were killed in attacks across the country, while the US military announced the death of two soldiers – the latest fatalities in what has been one of the bloodiest spells for American troops this year. One of the soldiers was killed by enemy fire near the northern city of Kirkuk and the other by a sniper in eastern Baghdad, both yesterday. At least 17 troops have been killed in combat since Saturday, including eight US soldiers who died in gun battles and bomb blasts in Baghdad on Monday -- the worst day for American forces in the capital in a year. Yesterday alone, at least 53 people were killed across Iraq -O- It’s not getting any better, in fact it just gets worse More troops dying in Iraq This is chaos, Bush’s curse Day after day mayhem and death Trauma, dismemberment and horror Meanwhile the lies go on Justifications made, claims of error The politicians keep on distorting Trying to make that skull smile The rictus mask of Iraq Escapes all their guile Sooner or later the entrails of his bloody mistake will writhe out from Iraq and Bush by the throat will take So many have died now because so many lied then So many have been traumatised Sent back minds paralysed And all to create a terrorist haven and a way for violence to grow The seedcorn of deaths to come that the wiser heads did know What we had were right-wing hotheads and neocons with pure ice in their veins A hellish combination as Iraq blows out its brains It’s a long long way from Washington to the killing fields of Iraq And don’t you know that’s how Bush wants it as his pretence begins to crack He wishes you’d ignore the dying of the troops and believe all his lies You see they believe in very little, stifling all those cries Put on a happy face and say it’s going well When all the time you really know… it’s going all to hell [comments] => 5 [counter] => 297 [topic] => 57 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
