A Tanka Written For The Iraq War's 10th Anniversary

♡ ♥


Iraqi children
glued to a small TV:
he stands firmly
under a banner which reads
'Mission Accomplished'


Note: 4,488 soldiers died in the Iraq War, and there is no official record of violent civilian deaths following the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
