A brief account of our foibles in Iraq
The Very brief, without deceit,
True history of Misery,
from ‘Victory’,
‘tween the Rivers Tigris
and the Euphrates


The game
Of Claims
For Gains
First Flames,
Then Pains
That remain.
Then blame,
Oh, the shame




The only poem I have written that has a title longer than the body of the work.
