The Engines roared of the two helicopters,
With twenty-three
SEALs and one CIA
The Black Hawk I, its
crew’s chief slid the door open
The wind buffed
against the men
On a tall wall
overlooking the compound,
Black Hawk one
crashed—into the courtyard
But it didn’t
infringe the plan,
Thus, only frustration
came! They were
Chasing the man
called Osama bin Laden:
Ahead of al Qaeda
(the Base)…out of
Jalalabad, they had
come, beyond
The boarders of Afghanistan, to Pakistan
Pushing Operation Neptune Spear:
The Assault, was to
be on a neighborhood house
In the city of Abbottabad: the
fugitive’s home.
The plan, ‘Kill the
man and anyone who tries
To stop them…’ Not to
say, it was said that way,
But that’s how it was
read, I do believe…
And good reddens to
bad rubbish:
(The latter being my
saying of course).
But first came Ahmed
al- Kuwaiti, like a caged animal,
With an AK 47 in hand, bullets, and shrapnel
Flew here and there,
everywhere:
He was assigned to be
bin Laden’s savior, but
That didn’t play out!
And he went down, like
a clown, perhaps to Paradise,
More likely to Hell!
Leaving his wife
(Mariam) and children behind!
Now it was Bin
Laden’s time…
Let me see if I can
make this rime:
Holy ...uck, he got
shot in the head:
He laid there by the
side of his bed, like a dead duck:
His blood and brains
seeped out of the side of his skull—
Twitching but dead,
convulsing but dead—
No more to be said…!
Then he was shot in
the chest—god forbid,
He was deader than
dead!
And the SEALs went
back to wherever they come
From—and had a good
crash, if not laugh, I mean rest:
Ate a hearty
breakfast that night: with whiskey
And rum and beer on
the side, and had lots of
Milk and cookies in
morning for their briefing
While Obama the Great
U.S.,
President, for the day
Had his way; was full
of pride thinking what was next
Oh his merry-go-round
check list:
How about the 2012: “Campaign?” I mean,
Presidential
elections…?

Dedicated to the Team of SEALs, who dared the great feat of ‘Operation
Neptune Spear’
