Fallujah

Smoke tendrils reaching out
From the darkness
Bringing wild confusion
Explosions in anger
Fallujah erupts
Masses of people pour into the streets
Shouting their hatred
Against me for being here.
Children with rocks
Stand in ankle deep sewer water
Obscenities thrown out like grenades
We are here for them.
Shanty town
Smells like old Mexican bars
On the border of insanity
With burning hot sand.
Horse soldiers dying daily
Shot by people without remorse
RPG’s find their targets
And death calls you home.

| Thank you I'm glad you liked it. I too spent time in Bosnia (Mostar with the French). Glad to be back, now all I have to do is get out of Iraq. |
