Innocence Having Been Lost (Free verse) by dougsoderstrom
So..................................................... In the name of Allah, terrorists “lop off” the heads of innocent victims,And in the name of God, our “smart bombs” continue to slaughter thousands of old men, women, and children, Saddam Hussein killed multitudes of his own people, While George Bush misled his own people into a war of death, destruction, dishonor,and shame! Oh the joy......... the promise of love and peace on earth, The ideal of human beings having lived at their best, A time that has come and gone, innocence having been lost....... perhaps forever! No more “good guys,” no more “bad guys,” just cold, hard steel... ...... conscience-seared robots following “their sacred orders” to kill “the enemy!”

I don't entirely agree with it, but I'm not judging you're opinion, I'm judging the poem, and the poem isn't that bad.

So you have a problem with islamic terrorists and christians dropping cluster bombs and people dying and that members of the army do what they are told.

Big whoop.

I usually yawn at this sort of political rant.
But it's not a bad rendition of a familiar chant
