The Second Coming.

William Butler Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity…

Drought, Political stalemate, ethnic division, not to mention a two decade war are all destabilizing Iraq. Is this the start of another climate crisis war like Syria? Can the Middle East countries exist with out a monarchy or dictator. Moqtada Sadr one of the most powerful leaders to rise during and after years long American Mischief is “retiring” perhaps dying of something if rumors are true.

The cradle of civilization.
