Internal Affairs

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Internal Affairs

 

China proclaims the right to be free

From other nation’s interference

In the internal affairs of state

 

Let it be clear:

No nation has the right to commit

Crimes against humanity

Behind the curtain of national borders

No nation has the right to oppress its

Citizens on the basis of religion

Race or ethnic background

No nation has the right to submit

Its people to torture under

The guise of education

No nation has the right to punish

Individuals for exercising free speech

No nation has the right to imprison

Dissidents or protesters

 

The inherent rights of humanity

Do not stop at national borders

The march of human rights and

Human dignity will continue

Despite the cruelty of power hungry

Despots, dictators and tyrants

Claim what rights you will

Human rights trump all
