Saddam Hussein We Received Your News
Ziad Shaker elJishi
We received the news of your hanging
As we receive the coffins of martyrs
It was appropriate that you should die as Guevara
You are the jasmine smile on our faces
As such heroes should die
So we showered your news with jasmine and the love of our nation
The Arab midgets around you
Throw drunken parties to celebrate drinking your blood
Their orgies will not last for long
Hanging off the boots of their American masters
Know that the peasants in
Carry your name as a charm hanging
Off of their chests
That the Iraqi gun has now been loaded
With 100 million Saddam bullets
Dedicated to you
Iraqi youths shall never forget your name
Saddam Hussein
Who throws fear into Persian hearts
and those traitors in
Saddam Saddam Saddam
The throne on-top of all Arab heads
The desert sands mourn you
The fertile crescent mourns you
The Arab Maghreb mourns you
The palm trees in
Saddam Saddam Saddam Lion of the desert
Like the phoenix out of the ashes
Like an IED roadside bomb
Saddam Saddam Saddam
The name uttered by hopeful Iraqi mothers at night!
Who miss you…..
