Dim Hope (Iraq)

Weary of another day
Of this dim dark dust storm.
This thing doesn’t go away.
Oh for the back home norm.

I think I’ll up and fly away
With my chopper’s propeller blade
Performing motions nowhere staid
With fear of harm nowhere waylaid.

Before this war I had no fear.
I'm in Iraq much to my sorrow.
Maybe I’ll see sunlight here
Tomorrow

--Ellis

    Fortunately, more and more are disillusioned about this war. Perhaps Bush will be seen for the criminal that he is and will be impeached and removed from office. I hope that will be the case. He is using the excuse of this war to extend his power to the extreme. He wants to attack Iran next, I think.

    Touching ending indeed. I enjoyed the poem that brought hopes in the society. I don't believe in wars of any kind. Just breaks my heart to see all this are happening around you. Great write.
    wish you the best

    What a very touching ending - the one word "tomorrow" - to a moving and thought-provoking poem.

    Different what you normally write. Very thought provoking, I like your stance on this war. I don't believe in any war of any sort, and as such this piece appealed to me.

    Great write,
