Iraq, my fellow poet says <br />is just one mistake. <br /> <br />But, it just takes one mistake <br />and only one my friend, <br />to destroy your image <br />you carefully built over time. <br /> <br />Just one mistake it takes <br />to fall from grace, <br />to turn from hero to zero, <br />to turn life into misery, <br />to turn good to evil, <br />to ruin your life forever. <br /> <br />But, is it really one off? <br />Afghanistan, Korea, Vietnam <br />the list goes on, <br />Not to mention the fate of <br />native americans, <br />used like game for <br />hunting practice. <br /> <br />You have taken a path <br />of no return, <br />only time will decide <br />your fate, <br />But, atleast be careful with <br />your next turn. <br /> <br /> <br />Cr Vikram.G.
