Ever wonder what it was like
to live in a country where the
media was government controlled?
And reporters acted like Willy Loman
door-to-door salesman
peddling propaganda not shoe laces?

Awake, arise
and read your morning paper
where Iraqis fight because Saddam forces them
where civilians are being killed only by Iraqis,
where massive long intense battles occur
without American casualties
and Britain bombards a city
in support of its inhabitants

Read all about it
Going around in circles and getting dizzy,
but the date never changes, dusty or wet
it's always 1984
