Dark clouds hastily gather, <br />drums of war beat louder, <br />Death, that Grim Reaper, <br />is waiting, ready and eager. <br /> <br />Events are moving fast, <br />lies presented as fact, <br />troops ensconced in Kuwait, <br />waiting for the order to act. <br /> <br />I watch events unfold with alarm. <br />Could this be a passing dream, <br />or an error to correct and redeem? <br />Alas! Things aren’t what they seem. <br /> <br />The warmongers have had their way, <br />whether for good or bad, who can say? <br />Time alone will tell if the price we pay <br />in the blood of many is the right way. <br /> <br />*The last four verses were added in July 2003 <br />after the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.<br /><br />Isam Hussain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-god-not-another-war/
