Shot Down In Baghdad

This is a poem I wrote earlier today, and I just thought I'd share it...
It's called 'Shot Down In Baghdad'

[font=&quot]'Daddy, daddy, where has mother gone?'[/font]

[font=&quot]Dare he tell the child the gruesome tale?[/font]

[font=&quot]She was shot down and murdered[/font]

[font=&quot]By American Troops[/font]

[font=&quot]Our so-called 'heroes'[/font]

[font=&quot]She was innocent, a mere civilian[/font]

[font=&quot]Slaughtered unjustly in the streets of [/font][font=&quot]Baghdad[/font][font=&quot][/font]

[font=&quot] [/font]

[font=&quot]As 100,000 share her fate[/font]

[font=&quot]We sit in silent compliance[/font]

[font=&quot]As our leaders chant, chant[/font]

[font=&quot]"War is Peace, War is Peace"[/font]

[font=&quot]As they continue to send more off[/font]

[font=&quot]To kill and be killed[/font]

[font=&quot]In a senseless battle[/font]

[font=&quot] [/font]

[font=&quot]Why do we sit so silent?[/font]

[font=&quot]Are human lives not important enough?[/font]

[font=&quot]Will we continue to comply,[/font]

[font=&quot]With this brutal slaughter?[/font]

[font=&quot]I fear too many will[/font]

[font=&quot]When we should instead[/font]

[font=&quot]Rise up and fight[/font]

[font=&quot]These warmongers[/font]

[font=&quot]These murderers[/font]

[font=&quot]And free [/font][font=&quot]Iraq[/font][font=&quot][/font]

[font=&quot]From these American oppressors.[/font]
