My heart goes to those who grieve for their war dead in war torn Iraq <br />Life when it is taken cannot be given back <br />Those who started this war from Iraq may live far away <br />But to Karma they do have a huge price to pay <br />For thousands of deaths in Iraq the pro war media terrorists do blame <br />But terrorism absent from Iraq before the invaders came <br />To excuse the war instigators of their crimes this is their way <br />Though they had started something brutal and ugly that does seem fair to say <br />Poor Iraqi mothers for their war dead left to grieve <br />The stories of a pro war media why should they believe <br />It does not take courage a life for to take <br />And the legacy of war is death, grief and heart-break <br />They cannot be brought back to life the Iraqi war dead <br />For oil not for freedom their blood has been shed<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-oil-not-for-freedom/
