" MURDER OF JAMAL KHASHOGI " MY PHOTO, ©

In their embassy trapped the journalist Was accused for being no royalist Was tortured then he was killed His body with knives they filled Now they say that he was a bigamist! © Demetrios Trifiatis 22 November 2018 10-10-7-7-10 * The killing of journalist Jamal Khashogi by Saudi agents should be everyone's concern for if governments kill their citizens and get away with murder it will not take long before each one of us becomes a potential victim. I dedicate this poem to the slain journalist. May he rest in peace. We poets should not remain silent but ought to speak up for the sanctity of human life!

So did I and so I do! If people who care give up then what can we expect but things to get worst? Thank you for your kindness!

Awful. I have seen a tremendous amount of injustice and corruption in my life and it is atrocious. Have a nice day Demetrios :)

Of course Saudi Arabia is a big customer of the United States and the U.K. and they'd rather look the other way than lose those big contracts, shame on them. Turkey has recordings' too so the proof is there . State murder is nothing new, the U.K. were guilty of it in Northern Ireland. It's a sad world we live in Demetrios. Tom.
