Nightmare Number 4

late night, early morn
depending where you are
couldn't sleep
mushroom cloud visions
in my head
nightmare
flashbacks
all too real

computer on
spam e-mail
all thats there
go to r blog
Rosies's rants
brings smiles
rich white men
declare the wars
today we morn
our own
Who here morns
the Iraqi dead

I should leave it there
and go back to bed
nightmare waits
bad dreams
in my head

tv news
chants a mournful tune
dead bodies
it's no
dream
I see it
through their eyes
been there
once or twice
this ain't nam
this is worse
I ask again
Who here morns
the Iraqi
DEAD
