Always a rebel was Saddam Hussein
determined to run the Iraqi domain
born in '37 in the town of Tikrit
primary school he was to aquit.
For secondary school he went to Baghdad
It wouldn’t be long for this ‘jack the lad’
joining the Baath in '56
Qasim's regime he couldn’t yet fix.
One day in '59 he began to evolve
his countries problems he tried to resolve
armed to the teeth and making no noise
he opened up on Qasim and the boys.
The Primo was hit more than one time
his bodyguard had Saddam in line
young Saddam took a shot in the leg
how he escaped the regime never said.
Saddam reappeared on Syrian soil
sentenced to death for this turmoil
moving to Egypt, back to school
Improving education, staying cool.
Between journeys into Iraq
education would never lag
a very good mind, quick to learn
a degree in law he was to earn.
In '64 he was charged and arrested
His beloved Baath party the regime detested
when in prison he was studious,quiet
freed in '67 by Al Bakr's disquiet.
The real coup was in '68
they drove a tank at the palace gate
the coup d’etat was a complete success
his country now Baath could address.
Kurds for autonomy they ask him to give
as an independent nation they wanted to live
he granted freedom, the extremists refused
The Peshmerga violence was never defused.
In 1980 he attacked Iran
eight years of slaughter he began
In '88 it came to an end
the Iranians steadfast, refusing to bend.
In '91 he took the lot on
this should have been his swansong
instead, he was allowed to survive
some of his people wish he had died.
After Shock and Awe in 2003
he finally parted company
they strung him up before the world
on a tightened rope his body twirled.
