RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Yemen
Never was there a war more hopeless
Never was there a nation more forlorn
Never was there a people in greater distress
Never was a society more torn
The world decided to make Yemen pay
For all the divisions we have wrought
Supplied with weapons of mass extinction
And ideologies for which we have fought
A clash of the titans with deadly forces
Converge on the poorest of nations
Every radical Islam Sunni or Shia
Was delivered a gold invitation
Hundreds of thousands have given their lives
A generation of war and terror
A generation of kids will want to know why
Their lives did not deserve better
It’s all about the geography
Some kindly old man will explain
Iran Iraq the Saud’s and the West
Lay their claim to this holy terrain
