Getting Away With Murder

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!

* 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!

Tom Cunningham Date: 11/22/2018 2:53:00 AM 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.
