five years in iraq

by Mary Frances Spencer

so it continues
without end
this war an hourglass
spilling sands that bury
numbers

4000 US troops lost
25,000 wounded
90,000 civilian deaths
untold trillion dollars

not counting

one good
reason

Author's Note: These numbers are getting to me....can't believe this has been going on for 5 years. MFS
