ABOUT BAGHDAD
You know what gets me mad about Baghdad?
It's all that glory that the city had
histories began and stories ran
like the Euphrates
yo through the sand
flowing slowly with a current
and a motion of man was destroyed by a turret
olive green tanks painted to camouflage
in the desert
with a President leper
so ugly inside
diseased with the need for homocide
in the city we live..About Baghdad
in the city we die...About Baghdad
sometimes I wonder
about the spell were under
living leaders led to blunder
all the thunder in the skies
stop for a second when the blood dries

Ruined writers that type
surgical strikes
amidst the hype from a hotel
named Palestine
journalists peddle for rags not worth a dime
that's equal to the new Saladin's promises
from a spider hole
what a crime it is
see this cowboy's son
revels in pride
he glides through life on Baghdad's hide
cuz Baghdad's his prize
for the new Rome
new poems could be written
about the lies in his position
the search for the weapons is
the search for his soul
its empty, probably,
like a game of Monopoly
Baghdad's the prize
get out of jail free with no surprise
get out of jail free no matter the lies
cuz Cheney's at his side
and Baghdad's never safe
or is it a safe for a caper or a rape
empire proceeds with the same mistakes

Skin and hair burnt to walls in Al-Amariyyah
a shelter not safe in the new South Korea
Santa Maria
America discovers Iraqi democracy
after killing many Iraqis
how many skeltons and bloated bellies?
how many missiles flying from floating helli's?
Satellites above the sky couldn't predict
cruise missiles fly with less accuracy than a
drunken guy
uranium depletes near a family
so I'm not too clear on who it is who lost their
sanity
Baghdad's not a victim, it's a prize
when the Mongols sacked it
we all know they realized
that civilization lives in Baghdad's eyes
a gleam of promise for a nation denied
in Baghdad, our hopes reside
