Here’s what critics wrote about the original Poems From Guantanamo
"At last Guantanamo has found its voice."--Gore Vidal
"Speaking as they can across barriers actual and figurative, translated into our American tongue, these voices in confinement implicitly call us to our principles and to our humanity. "-Robert Pinsky
"Poems from Guantanamo brings to light figures of concrete, individual humanity,against the fabric of cruelty woven by the 'war on terror.' -- Adrienne Rich
Now come these instant classics from "Poems II"I wonder if I’ll ever see
The guy from that cell next to me
I tapped my toes and he tapped back
Just as a Marine Corp hack
Took him off to a distant cage
The price we pay for this war we wage
- Abu Abu Majid Chicken on Thursdays
Again, there's too much saffron
Damn you, Gonzales!
- Adnan AmousA cabbie drives in Tribecca
With dreams of a visit to Mecca
Into his cab climbs an infidel
With a bottle of Zinfindel
Should he drive her or just cut her neck-huh?
- Salim Ahmed Hamdan My cell smells of dung
Like my home in Egypt but
Playstation 3 here!
- Khalid “the Gamer”
They were only fireworks
Jihad is for stupid jerks
I give my word, you can rely
They’re leftover from 4th of July
I swear I am a loyal American
Just ask my professor, Sami Al-Arian
- Yousef from Florida With a “B”, it’s spelled “Obama”
I’m not related to “Osama”
And though my middle name Hussein be
That’s not a reason to detain me
Just tell me where you got the hint from
Are her initials ‘Hillary Clinton’?
- Barrack Hussein Obama (of the Chicago Obama’s) And many many more!
