War With Saddam

Soon is War’s terror come.
Death.
Destruction.
Doom.
Loss of innocence.
Loss of UN credibility.
Loss of French support.
(who cares)

Soon we will find
the truth.
Do weapons of mass death
lurk unseen?
Soon Iraq will be free
from Saddam
and his sons.
What then?

Soon war will come.
Soon death will come.
Soon after
peace we pray.
Peace that will challenge
more than war.
So easy to start a war.
So hard to build a true peace.

I asked this question then.
Do we know the answer?
Can we build a true peace?
How?
