No
rescue was ever planned
A
MiG...a SAM…friendly fire?
I
was food for wolves it was said
No
one came to look for me
Missing? Arbitrarily dead.
My
fate sealed by Cheney and Powell
Twelve hours from a flash in the skies
Spoil of war...for Saddam Hussein
A
gift ...boxed in ribbons of lies
Arlington's Honors…red, white and blue
Tri-folded--dark blue with white stars
For
my mission west of Baghdad
Scott Speicher...first casualty...Gulf War
"Stormin'
Norman's thunder and lightening"
Killed in Action by chain of command
Memories of Forrest High School days
Norfolk-the Saratoga...E and E in the sand
Twelve years of hope for a rescue
Long
shadowed in a black plumed haze
A
dusty cave...my first prison cell
Now
in Baghdad...I pass all my days
Two
Desert Storms...twelve years apart
Like
Lazarus...arising again
"Spike" ,Navy Pilot, a broken heart
Twelve years....will you fight to win?
Leave nothing unfinished...leave no one behind
No
deals with the Devil ...no lies
Let
the Generals fight...the battle be won
Let
Saratoga rain Hell from the skies!
I'll
watch in awe through my prison bars
Knowing ,my rescue is near
Scott Spiecher...first casualty...Gulf War
US Navy...POW ...twelve long years
