SADDAM HUSSEIN'S DEATH

SADDAM HUSSEIN'S DEATH

Things all got darker, as his life ebbed away,
I heard nobody talking, I heard nobody pray,
all through his life he was wicked and cruel,
treated everyone like he was a fool,
killing and raping, was all that he knew,
no one was safe, not me or not you,
his need for power, was a frenzy with him,
it was still there when his eye sight grew dim,
ranting and raving as his lifes blood ran out,
he suddenly knew that he was not very stout,
when he arrived at the pearly gates,
he was greeted there by those that he hates,
he was rated by his deeds,that they knew so well,
no entry in heaven, they sent him to hell,
when the devil saw him, he started to grin,
those up in heaven wouldn't let him come in,
then he gave him an order to go tend the fire,
it just raised his anger, just raised his ire,
you will tend to the fire, you will tend to the flame,
you'll be there forever, Mr. Saddam Hussein,
feeling the heat of the devil himself,
just like those you put on the shelf,
so while, the brimestone you have to shovel,
there is no other way, you can beg, you can grovel,
but still you'll keep the fire burning without any let up,
sweating and smelling in all of your get up,
you may have been a killer while on earth alive,
now where you are, you won't have any drive,
there is only yourself that you can blame,
you wanted to be the keeper of the flame,
you sold your soul, and you sold it well,
now toil forever in the bowels of hell.

    I agree with everyone, great job...beautifully constructed, so thought provoking. Your choice of diction was just word perfect, with so much visonary passion.
