The Error in Terrorism

The Error in Terrorism

March your soldiers one by one,
Freedom fighters aim your gun.
Enemies come from around the bend,
Shoot them down, you must defend.

Fighting hard to keep the peace,
Body counts slowly increase.
Innocent people will die today,
Politicians will keep it that way.

By your country you have been deceived,
Propaganda brain-washed what you believed.
Your government stepped in, a war broke out,
Another civilian massacre the people shout.

Haven't you already set their people free?
So why are you still in their country?
Why do you wait for a terrorist attack,
When it wasn't the people from Iraq?

    This was excellent, full of meaning and very true. The flow was perfect, the imagery good. Another 5/5 from me.

    Very good job in the description department. I understand this peice clearly. I feel the same way. (along with millions more)
    The rhyming was very good, but then again, it's expected from you.
    In the news one soldier was quoted as saying "I feel as if we are just going in circles, waiting for someone to blow us up."
    Nice work.

    Good Job, but I think this poem shouldnt be in saddness and depression(although it is sad) I think it fits in Life and Society a bit more.

    I see you wrote in the same format as th love poem but it seems to work for this poem. Challenge yourself is all I have to say.
