This 2001 winner of the Corporate Poetry Contest, submitted by Jason Hasai and selected by the WTO's own Dr. Andreas Bichlbauer, is "Chant to the OAS," to be found in the "Children's Corner" of the Organization of American States website:
The OAS, the OAS
Is a success, I must confess!
It helps us all achieve our dreams
Because it supports important themes
Its main concern is
democracy
So all our citizens can live strong and free
It always fights for human rights
And its work for
peace has reached
important heights
What a sensation are its programs on
education
Not to mention its assistance to
electoral observation
Preserving the environment has always
been a priority
And endless programs are advanced to eliminate
poverty
Trade
is important to increase prosperity
And the promotion of culture,
art and
science is necessary for
posterity
The fight against
drugs is a serious matter
While arms control,
security and
terrorism are as important as
the latter
Protecting
women and
children is a must
And our labor initiatives will
never rust
We are constantly praised for our defense of
indigenous populations
In the same manner that we support
telecommunications
The Convention on Corruption
that we signed
Is as significant as the territory that weve so successfully
demined
Developing
technology helps improve
our lives
Just as fostering
tourism brings good vibes
Our task with
ports is of great stature
And we always make sure to promote
leadership and valor
Hemispheric Summits
and
civil society
Are finally the two initiatives that have given us so much notoriety
The OAS, the OAS
Is a success, Im proud to stress!
