I heard the Iraqi women cry <br />When their sons and husbands had to die <br />And did not have to question why - <br />It was the Weapons of Destruction lie. <br /> <br />It wasn't Saddam who was to blame <br />Despite his cruel, evil fame, <br />It was someone with a different name <br />Who doesn't seem to feel any shame. <br /> <br />You will not have too far to look <br />To identify this famous crook - <br />It may be someone you mistook <br />For a harmless fellow signing a book. <br /> <br />There isn't any mystery, <br />This man will go down in history, <br />But Fate will deny him any praise, <br />Controversial to the end of days.<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lie-that-won-t-be-forgotten/
