Thanks Saber.

The headwaters of Eden flow through wastes,
Beneath whose ruined remnants of our dawning,
And under palaces of tyrant tastes,
A pestilence is nursed… and plagues are spawning.

This poem creates a picture of Babylon and germ warfare with Iraq in the near future. I like the prose which deals in the style of subtle realism in harmony with what I see as today's theme, which is and was death and destruction by the Middle East and in particular Saddam.
