Fallujah In Pictures

This man was a
freedom fighter,
this man

was a freedom fighter.
These men
were freedom fighters.

This boy was
a freedom fighter.
These piles of men

were freedom fighters.
These dead men
piled on the curb

were freedom fighters.
They’re all dressed
in civilian clothes,

civilian clothes
covered in blood---these men
and boys were freedom fighters.

They are free now,
and their country
is free of them.

And we, too,
we used to be
freedom fighters…long ago…
