Foreign Monsters In Iraq

There is no level of violence,
That could be described,
Whether sexual,psychological,physical,
All are termed as abuse,
Poor civilians that were once ruled,
By a monster called Saddam,
Face foreign monsters today,
Americans,British soldiers,
All who lied to the world,
That they would save the innocent,
Are now occuppiers,
Now stand and humiliate,
Victims who have hands tied behind,
And bags around their heads,
As they are constantly beaten up,
Sexually abused and molested,
For falling into the wrong hands,
For the very sin of being Iraqi,
For the very sin of being muslim,
For the very sin of being human,
They are punished and tortured,
By sickly minds who please themselves,
By taking photographs,
And tying electric currents,
Around the "victim" who deserves all,
With threats and guns,
As they are made to stoop low,
Humiliated and belittled,
And forced to cry for mercy,
And the empowerment felt by those,
Sickly creatures,
Is so repulsive that I am ashamed,
To belong to a human race,
And death does seem a cleaner,
Purer end to suffering.

Yes, death is much better than oppression and abuse. That's why Iraqs are fighting off these molesters and would rather die honorable than be molested by the occupiers. And you know what? The perpetrators aren't just some 'bad apples'. This is far from the truth. This whole war was staged to humiliate the Muslims and the Arabs. The tactics used by the occupying forces are the same cruel tactics used by the zionist state in Palestine.

There is NO justification for abuse, no matter who the oppressors are, whether Saddam or the Americans or the British. It is against the very nature of humanity.

Ted's right ... and let us not forget what was happening to the people there where Sadam and son's were in power ... i do agree that suffering and violence of any nature are abhorrent ...

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
