saddam hussien.1937.

always a rebel was saddam hussien
determined to run this Iraqi domain
born in ‘37 in the town of tikrit
primary school he was to aquit

for secondary school he went to baghdad
it wouldent be long for this jack the lad
joining the baath in 56
qassims regime he couldent yet fix.

one day in’ 59 he began to evolve
his countries problems he tried to resolve
armed to the teeth and making no noise
he opened up on qassim and the boys

the primo was hit more than one time
his bodyguard had saddam in line
young saddam took a shot in the leg
how he escaped the regime never said

saddam reappeared on syrian soil
sentenced to death for this turmoil
moving to egypt and back to school
improving education and staying cool

between journeys into iraq
education would never lag
a very good mind and quick to learn
a degree in law he was to earn.

in 64 he was charged and arrested
his beloved baath party the regime detested
when in prison he was studious and quiet
in 67 he escaped in a riot

the real coup was in ‘68
they drove a tank at the palace gate
the coup d’etat was a complete success
his country now saddam could address

kurds for autonomy they ask him to give
as an independent nation they wanted to live
he granted freedom, the extremists refused
the peshmerga violence was never defused

In 1980 he attacked iran
eight years of slaughter he began
in 88 it came to an end
the iranians steadfast refusing to bend

In 91 he took the lot on
this should have been his swansong
instead -he was -allowed to survive
i bet his own people wish he had died..jb. ©
