RE: A Song of Iraq

in #poem7 years ago

A very topical poem, considering this was made between the U.S.-sponsored invasion and occupation of Iraq and the ascendance of the Daish. Hopefully Iraq's future is bright and more secure under the leadership of Muqtada Sadr, who is viewed as a hero against the U.S. invasions, and one of the first leaders to mobilize a front against the Daish (while the Baghdad government, with all their top-line U.S. equipment and training, dropped the ball).

Although I have my doubts about the man, considering his recent actions.
