terrorism grows
like humanity cancer
across the known & unknown
worlds
we picked a fight
with damn saddam,
& now he’s hanged, but we
have not stilled his gagging
soul
more battalions battling
the conflagration in
baghdad
only fan the flames
in the hearts
of our numberless
enemies
our adversaries
will never
surrender
& they do not care
how many of us
or how many of them
have to
die
for generations
to come
to prove
nothing
