Iraq's Freedom
We toppled Iraq's tyrant. Sects chose to hate again.
We backed a fair aspirant. Sects chose to impose reign.
We built new infrastructure. Sects chose to undermine.
We buttressed esprit de corps. Sects chose to disincline.
We midwifed Iraq's freedom. Sects chose a civil war.
We urged leaders to become. Sects chose to kill the more.
We displayed self-rule facets. Sects chose vain platitude.
We gave our lives and assets. Sects chose ingratitude.
We have no further coffer. Sects must find a surcease.
We have no other offer. Sects must opt for a peace.
