*****
Before Mohammad, city of Baghdad,
On the Tigris, kingdom of the Persians,
Before son Jesus, city of Baghdad,
Before your George Bush, city of Baghdad,
Flowing waters on a parched sand desert,
Before the Romans, city of Baghdad,
Before Sheik Omar, city of Baghdad,
In Islam’s Golden Age of Mathematics,
Before Buwayhids, city of Baghdad,
Before Timur the Lame, city of Baghdad,
Sacked again by the Turks and the Mongols
Before Ottoman, city of Baghdad,
Before the British, city of Baghdad,
War to end all wars, and then another,
Before bombs dropping, city of Baghdad,
Before death Saddam, city of Baghdad,
Stop the killing of women and children,
Before rebuilding, city of Baghdad,
