[bodytext] => There were two trailers With canvas sides For inflating balloons With nothing to hide But a band of men With evil intention Inflated a story Of pure invention One and one is five they said These are mobile chemical warfare trucks And we know this for sure ‘cause this is how it looks See Powell’s little drawings Based on what one man said? Well these look just like them You can take the rest as read Of these chemicals there is no trace And now all the scientists say No matter how you scrub They can't be scrubbed away And these things have canvas sides That just cannot be If you’re creating germs You contain them, don’t you see?? But no, no, no That will never do The truth’s not what we want But just to hoodwink you O/ "The experts pointed out that the trailers lacked essential equipment for sterilizing, growing and drying bacteria, without which no weapons materials could have been produced. They noted that, while there was no suitable means of removing germ fluids from the vehicles’ processing tanks, they were equipped in a manner that would easily allow the extraction of gas, a feature consistent with the Iraqi scientists’ claim that they were used to produce hydrogen for balloons." "As one CIA official told the 'New York Times', the most persuasive evidence that the trucks were bioweapons labs was the fact that they looked like the drawings Powell presented to the UN last February based upon the claims of a single defector!" "The scientists said the failure to detect any trace of pathogens on the equipment rendered the claims of their use as bioweapons labs highly suspect. Weapons inspectors who had checked other tanks that were used in weapons production pointed out that traces were normally detectable, even if they had been scoured with chemicals." "There was an absence of pumps needed to create vacuum conditions essential for working with germ cultures, and the lack of steam sterilization equipment required to prevent contamination that would render bacterial weapons materials harmless. It also pointed to the canvass sides on the vehicles, which would have made them extremely dangerous to operate as bioweapons labs. Normally, such labs are airtight." "Chemical weapons experts, engineers, chemists and military systems experts... say the layout and equipment found on the trailers is entirely inconsistent with the vehicles being mobile labs."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
