Flashback: "This Is The Day"

In note of the 3rd anniversary of George Bush's invasion of Iraq, here's a poem I wrote back then:

This Is The Day

This is the day.
This is his Big Day.
This is the Biggest! Bestest! day
of his life.

This is the day
he will be remembered for.
This is the day
his father's folly is erased.

This is the day
the naysayers are silenced.
This is the day
their numbers could not stop.

This is the day
the missiles will fly.
This is the day
when ancient cities burn.

This is the day
collaterals are damaged.
This is the day
that Jesus will applaud.

This is the day
his name becomes immortal.
This is the day
he finally shows them all.

This is the day.
This is his Big Day.
This is the Biggest! Bestest! day
of his life.

I generally don't consider myself competent or experienced enough to pass judgement on my rare attempts at poetry, but this one worked pretty well, I thought. It's been on the Poets Against War website since back then, and even (I found a few months later) got swiped for reposting to another website.
