IRAQ HELL : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : blue-rose


Iraq Hell

They pile on a jet to nowhere

Hair shaven high and tight

Warriors trained to fight

When the tram lands, hands shake

Even the bravest pee their pants

When they open the doors

Its over a hundred degrees

Foul stench fills their noses

Hearts beating over a hundred

The smell of death hangs in air

The beautiful boys now men

Some girls with courage

Must fight a war, continue

Knowing they will never win

Volunteered to serve country

A war lords bid for money

For some this is their 3rd & 4th tour

Some signed to be weekend warriors

Needed the college money

Trillions of dollars disappear

In the name of freedom

Children, woman, young and old

Soldiers pile their dead bodies

Some black hawks can not fire

Even when facing firings

Load them up with red bull

Keeping them raging gruels

Young mans hair now turns gray

His innocence gone, losing sanity

No mass destruction weapons found

Must fight a war, fight a war

They will never win, never win

A war lords bid for money

Sent to serve men with greed

Who crowns his head, with soars

As if he were king & country

Lies and liars dens

Who scared his country

Mock warnings they did believe

The country sits in sins

The country covered in blood

Of many children dead

For their country they bleed

Doesn’t stand for this war

Doesn’t stand against this whore

Fighting a war they never win

The people forget them- forgetting

Get feed chickens of gov contracts

Find no chickens in their hens

Watching the death of friends

The people forget them- forgotten

Chain smoking gov issued cigarettes

Stand in guard over oil

Writing letters to friends

Their friends forget them

Come home with no leg & arms

Their country forgets them

When they land on home soil

Everyone acting normal

The people forget them

They never know whom is friend or foe

People living in ram shackled shakes

Pipe and car bombs blow

Soldiers living in metal homes

Lights blinking off & on

Laying in bed skies roar

Computers at times only friend

Want to come home

And go to college

See their families

They want to come home

Wired up with computers

They shield their words

Want to come home

They want to come home

They want to come home

They want to leave our

Americas Iraq hell

The people forget-
