Desert Warfare       I am the child                I am the child

under the rubble            beneath the broken palm bulldozed under              beside the scorched dates

     I am the child                I am the child crushed no eyes              one of forty thousanda receiver of                     your  anonymous death

 I am the child                I am the child you did not see                from your cockpitsnor did you see                my grieving mother         I am the child                 I am the child         bathed in bullets               swaddled in ashes         beyond your caring         beneath your contempt
