War on Iraq (Free verse) by Dhanesh M Kumar

WAR ON IRAQ Envisage ; that you are there where thousand of perilous burns, ravaging the entire reign, That your son, daughter and plenty of kin craving for life, to refrain from that fatal burns. That they are right as a trivet, not doing anything wrong, alas happened to be the dweller of that land. That you may sustain that burns to live alone your remaining days. Believe me; That my eyes are flooded now thinking of you and your kin’s fate. That there can be such thousand you, along with a hundred I. that the others are not concerned of you as they are on the safer Land. That there will be such numerous wars if the doctrine of pre- emption gets fuelled with.

I assumed he meant for 'burns' to be the noun there, in which case the grammar needs correcting - you've already started the correction, but the whole poem needs going over with a red biro.
I was kind of considering writing a poem in this manner, asking the reader to envisage that they are the mother of a soldier who was shot dead by someone he'd travelled thousands of miles genuinely hoing to help. But quite honestly, I can't even envisage it myself. Oh well.
