Iraq will survive. Iraq will recover, <br />with ruling democracy like none other. <br />As the end of 2009 draws near, <br />a brand new hierarchy will calm all fear. <br /> <br />After King Faisal's assassination, <br />came the monarchy's termination... <br />and later, presided Saddam Hussain <br />But his 'last amen' had been ordained. <br /> <br />Iraq and Iran have unique fascination, <br />antiquities, finance and population. <br />There grows a garden of eden sweet, <br />where the Tigris and Euphrates meet. <br /> <br />A Gate leads to the Processional Way <br />designed with lions on display... <br />This is Babylon's pink brick array. <br />I ponder, is this wonder still there today? <br /> <br />The problem remains of our soldiers leaving, <br />saying goodbye to a country that's free. <br />And one more war will be written down <br />in the historic archives of renown. <br /> <br />(But it is not yet known when this will be)<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/iraq-in-all-its-glory/
