Saddam’s Mirror

We are alike
You and I
for I love power too
its desires hold my every breath
so what is the difference?
what makes me
an innocuous girl
and you
a feared dictator?

are your hands larger than mine?
I know your skin is darker
your hair is grayer
and I can’t speak arabic.
Is it what i would not do?
could not do?
have not done
yet?

will I someday be found a hole
become the burden lifted from the millions
who were mine
become the next scapegoat
for dissension
unrest
evil?

Fate forms me to become a lowly accountant or teacher
so maybe history will pass me by
even if i cannot account for justice
or teach the ways of love
