European Convention on Human Rights

ARTICLE 14

Prohibition of discrimination

The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this

Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground

such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other

opinion, national or social origin, association with a national

minority, property, birth or other status.

In case of article fourteen Quite a problem could have been Solved completely, setting free All from tribal pedigree No prejudice would take place Based on nation or the race No one meets with deprivation Well protected by convention Be it truth, we could have been Living in most fairiest dream Ever dreamt about, or heard Magic of the written word Would reach out the moral height For the sake of human rights But of course it’s just a joke Article fourteen evokes Well known habit to proclaim Vaguely written rules of game That’s not law, but just convention Paving hell with good intention Fence the road, and change some slabs Re-elect old fags and hags No one reads conventions, man Wishful thinking is a damn That’s innate with human race I would really be amazed If the article fourteen Meant to be a real thing.
