Under crime as it is a crime, internationally...


Poem Artwork

NO BALLS…


 


Faces covered,


 


Traces of victim’s blood on their hoods,


 


Cases they may have some complaint,


 


Places where our military did not use hoods, but could…


 


 


Torturing of Iraqi prisoners just not right,


 


Debasing them by doing so in the nude, has come to light,


 


Our military could have hidden all this, but didn’t,


 


They take responsibility, accepting what they get…


 


 


Al-Queda terrorists of some offshoot of the Islamic faith,


 


They got no balls, no guts, no trace of human decency,


 


Killing the innocent there only to help,


 


Doing so with hoods covering their faces,


 


Not a man among them willing to come forth,


 


To accept his fate, it looks like fear,


 


None of them are men; they took this life,


 


Now they can live in fear, like Saddam did, hiding in the ground!


 


 


I still have respect for the Islamic faith, this they did not cause,


 


But if there are men there now, bring these cowards to justice,


 


If not, it is just so much injustice,


 


For apparently there is no such thing as laws…
