Iraq War Syllogism - 27 Poem by Raj Dronamraju

27

Let freedom reign
Over a kingdom of excuses
Over not enough troops
Over not being prepared for the resistance we would meet

Let freedom reign
By force if necessary
I will make you free whether you like it or not

Simultaneous demonstrations
Likeminded explosions of strife torn populists
Share a common enemy but a different denomination of their religion

Toady down in this experiment in anarchy
This imperialist push to war, to drive out dictatorship and replace it with nothing
Nothing but dollar signs for all who participated

Gifts for America
Lackeys round the throne
Their king of commerce dispensing contracts with the new Iraqi government

We will do the pumping
We will dispense the black gold
Their king of commerce greases the pipe with casualties
