A Land In Chaos Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt
A Land In Chaos
Before I write this poem, an explanation:
This was written for a friend named Ahmad (I think that's how you spell it) , who wanted this put into words that were understandable. Some are his words, some are mine. Here it is, with his blessing.
A LAND IN CHAOS
In vain we ask for peace
Ask for a brighter day
Ignored our prayers to Allah
Ignored the prayers we say.
We had so much to live for
Education ruled the day
Until the crimes of a tyrant
Came into our country to stay.
He ruled with greed and cruelty
Generations to destroy
Generating hate and ire
For man was just his toy.
When others came to save us
Our elders were all gone
And all those children left behind
Felt they were just a pawn.
Now we fight against our brother
As history does repeat
For none are now enabled
To hold that lofty seat.
No 'Leader' is empowered
To govern in Iraq
No leader Has the Strength
To fend off our brother's attack.
We need a gentle Master,
With help of men who know,
To pull our world together
A wisdom and gentleness show.
So..Mighty Allah....Mighty God...
That 'Great I Am' on high....
Please...bring our nation together
Let us reach up to the sky.
Please now, begin our education
Help Us learn goodwill to man
Help Us create a Nation
Give Us the courage to say
.............. 'I can! '........................

Carolyn and Ahmed, You have written a beautiful poem together. It is sad fact in Iraq when brother is fighting brother and they don't see that they have to put their differences aside for the sake of the country..........
