Yemeni Genocide

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Yemeni Genocide

 

They bomb hospitals don’t they?

Blockade the ports and block the airways

No food no hope no medicine

No basic means to survive the plague

 

Yemen is the latest field of play

For global power games

In terms of moral righteousness

Both sides are just the same

 

It’s the people who suffer in this war

As the people always do

They don’t care which leader rises

They don’t care which god you choose

 

And here we are again

Stuck in a bottomless pit

Taking sides in someone else’s war

A horror we cannot quit

 

It is time to stop the killing

For reasons we dare not say

For every bomb and every bullet

There is a price that must be paid
