Iraq
by Cebrof Genner

Midnight dark
Over burning sand
Once, fire of freedom
Now soot and ash

Shriek of patriot
In blackened cells
Each morning sun
Is streaked with blood

An hour, a day, a year and more
Time to hide one's secret prayers
From monsters, creatures of truth and lore
In nursery rhymes and fairy tales

Hearts that leap for eagle flight
At dove escape and the mouse's aid
Sol slung comet and migrant geese
The warrior wind from West to East

Fire and steel
The nation's meal
The head and mane
Go up in flame

A dragon falls
Among its slaves
White rays break
Onto ruin and rescue
