Hulagu


Hulagu Khan was Genghis Khan's grandson and visited Bagdad about 600 years ago and did pretty much what the US Army did when they visited in 2003. Theres a bunch of articles about it Here

Did Georgie do the hula to
when his name was linked to Hulagu
hey georgie, you are linked
with historic company

The books that survived old Mr Khan
never made it past the americans
so georgie, do you think?
this is religious destiny

the past treasures of the civilised
trashed and plundered before our eyes
in 2 days went 10000 years
of history

Their looking still to find what's gone
to the highest bid from foreign homes
but for georgie, its one more medal
to mark his infamy.
