The below is an anti-war poem that I wrote while I couldn't sleep. If leftist antiwar stuff isn't your bag, then you might want to avoid this one...

-------------------------------------------------

I Just read...

7 soldiers murdered dead
4 shot in the chest
3 in the head
7 soldiers bled red

7 soldiers not quite made it to 20
21 years to the president seems quite plenty
1 life costs nothing
1 war costing the tax payer a pretty penny

450 billion spent to keep us "free"
7 dead soldiers being all that they can and ever will be
7 flag draped coffins
brought to you by the Dixiecrats and the G.O.P.
and the Iraqi

1 mustachioed dictator gone
1 formerly known as a US pawn
1 rusty oil derrick getting turned back on
1 new US friendly dictatorship dawn

7 mothers crying
7 sons dying
1 administration lying
250 million not trying under
1 red, white, and blue flag flying
7 sons dying, tomorrow
7 sons dying

---------------------------------------------------
