The Laureate-Iraq

After umpteen  years, seems now,

we’ve warped into but their cash cow!

We fought the fight to set them free,

and our troops faced adversity.

But after all these many years,

when we rebuilt and dried their tears,

they cannot seem to save their land...

without another helping hand.

I dare to say we’ve done enough.

It’s time that our love becomes tough.

If they can’t stir their patriots,

let ISIS only earn our thoughts.
