[bodytext] => In Memory of CIA Agent J. Michael Strann who was the first to fall in the Castle of Death - Qalai Janghi Prison Fort outside Mazar-e-Sharif. 
Bow to the first to fall in this new war With so elusive, sinister a foe. War,- as we never had to fight before- The lead ship had been struck upon its prow. Mike bravely fought with big heroic heart To smash Al Qaeda's rat and vipers nest; And foil nefarious designs and thwart Iniquity, and free the much oppressed. Intelligence to cull Mike was assigned To Qalai Janghi's ancient prison fort. Yet his brave purpose soon was undermined By treacherous a prisoner cohort. Dissembling to be vanquished detainees, The terror master minds feigned to lie low; Then turned around and showed their dragons teeth And struck the guards and Mike the deadly blow. Hair-raising blood bath - brute savagery Took place within the ancient Afghan Fort, Rebellion, slaughter and foul treachery Among the barbarous infernal horde. Too late came air strikes and the big tanks rolled To save John Michael from the brutal slugs Dealt unto him in treasonous revolt In Allah's name by brutalizing thugs. Or Satan's name, whose power held full sway Within the prison and its dungeons dark; He gloated at the corpses swift decay And left on Mazar-e-Sharif his mark To die a hero was John Michael's lot - Who loved his country, fellowmen and kin, And like Nat Chapman -hero patriot With bright and smiling eyes and boyish grin. Memorials - too many did we see! Brave Green Berets fell and their loved ones cry But love does bloom a perpetuity It is eternal and it cannot die!

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. ©
