Poem Number 22918

FAILURE
The bully always wins
or he thinks so in mind
making failure of the weak
or so he may believe
The chasm seems unbridgeable
One day the invincible
bully loses to the helpless
who suddenly feels kinship
to the new failure in their club
And so it may come to pass
with the US in Iraq
Israel in Lebanon
or the bully in high school

-------------------
Commentary:
The only way we can lose in Iraq is if we lose the will to continue. The question becomes: How important is it to succeed?
