[bodytext] => Thirty days in June, remember - Not long now for lands dismembered What you think about that, Steel? What's your beef? How'd you feel? This is no handover, it’s nothing real This is what I truly feel It’s sovereignty only in name No more really than a game A game of what? Of cat and mouse? I know the cat’s in the White House – A Cheshire cat, it hides - we seek Truth as it grins and falsehood speaks . . . Yeah - Its tactic is for skulls to grin again To distract us from the growing pain And make us think all’s well - okay And vote for Bush come election day But surely, Steel – he’s too unfit No presidential etiquette Could see him through another four . . ? But what if he should win this war? Truly, they know not WHAT to do It really is a mess Iraq sovereignty - what does it mean? You do not have to guess . . . I don’t, it’s true, but I’ll take a shot Like marines in old Najaf Perhaps it means Iraq’s been bought And they’ve deployed the chaff! The political tactics are very clear The troops still hold ALL power They'll give a few speeches then they'll say: “See democracy in flower!” It won’t take long to wilt o’er there Beneath the Arab sun – The Mujahideen blood boils to bear Their arms ‘till death be won . . .

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. ©
