The Country Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

Ha! Ha!
Please don’t make us laugh

The Country that started an illegal war in Iraq
The Country that carried out extraordinary rendition flights
The Country that despite repeated objections from Pakistan
carries out drone attacks along it’s Sovereign territory
The Country that opened a controversial prison in Guantanamo
...and, on and on...
Is actually lecturing Scotland
on how, by letting the alleged Lockerbie bomber free
it has made a mockery of the rule of law!
