The executioners

Saddam! Saddam! So evil
that in the end you won.
Your ruthless taking of life
Took our reverence and replaced it
With your own dead soul.

Saddam! Saddam! You were already dead
But we believed our murdering
is better than yours,
Our revenge a strong but bitter pill
That would bring us peace.

Saddam! Saddam! It is not you who died
But we.
