A Plea for Clemency

Rebecca Lunch, the brave soldier, broke a leg in
her president’s war, the enemy brought her to
hospital where she was looked after till her army
came, with blazing guns, and picked her up; no,
she hadn’t been raped or beaten, the cant machine
and compliant press, could only hint at unspoken
cruelty had befallen her, they made her a heroine
anyway, picture in the paper, and after that they
let her go home to mum and dad. For this, I think,
Saddam Hussein should be given a pardon, he
isn’t a common criminal, but a big one like Bush
and Blair who will end up as elder statesmen,
(Blair a Lord) admired by us all, if not by the Iraqi
people whose country they destroyed
