Demise
Demise                  for Saddam Hussen

When tyrants fall
as all must do
by Ghandi's promise,
it seems as though
light breaks darkness
to reveal small meals
missed by gluttons.

When evil scatters,
to avoid being held
accountable for thefts,
rapes, tortures, murders,
despoiling whole lands
of rights and freedoms,
rat holes their new thrones.

Where despots walk,
trod upon innocent necks,
yoked and enslaved,
justice will seek
to balance the scales
its own private revenge
not given to deities.
