[hometext] => "Iraq was in effect put up for sale yesterday when the American-appointed administration announced it was opening up all sectors of the economy to foreign investors in a desperate attempt to deliver much-needed reconstruction against a daily backdrop of kidnappings, looting and violent death
[bodytext] => . In an unexpected move unveiled at the meeting in Dubai of the Group of Seven rich nations, the Iraqi Governing Council announced sweeping reforms to allow total foreign ownership without the need for prior approval. America Puts Iraq Up for Sale http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0922-01.htm " Country for sale - who wants a slice? One recent owner once removed Fancy a little industry Cars or phones or food? Sorry, you can’t have the oil That’s already booked Come one, come all, it’s up for sale In the US sales attack There’ll be loads of knock down prices Come to MacIraq! Don’t worry about labour It’s plentiful and cheap You just show them who’s boss And don’t forget your whip Set up your factories or buy them all wholesale It’s all going cheap, cheap, cheap A country’s up for sale The natives may be restless But there’s nothing that you’ll lack Build your fence and bunker Come to MacIraq! There’s so much opportunity For your businesses galore With Porn flicks and comic strips And casinos by the score You can build a theme park About Saddam Hussein Scud missile rides and chemical sprays You'll drive the kids insane! There is no end to the delights To be bought by foreign hands Just grab yourself a share While the offer stands We’re selling you a country Like a pig in a sack Don’t worry - no regrets Let us sell you MacIraq!

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. ©
