“This is the part I didn’t want to see.”\u00a0 <\/i>
\nSgt. Kendall Sorensen<\/p>\n

After the fun, after the shooting spree,
\nthis is the part we did not want to see\u2014
\nTwo groups of victims on a smoking plain,
\none armed with tanks, the other armed with pain.
\nReluctantly, the conquering hero sees
\nhis own defeat in eyes of refugees,
\nwhile shattered children trapped in lives of fear
\nare asked to trust their fate to some emir
\nwhose bathrooms are adorned with unearned gold
\nto symbolize new order wrought from old.
\nRevenge against revenge\u2014it does not cease.
\nThe desert storm has brought no rain of peace.
