Ineptitude and Lassitude

Sometimes for fun men worship a gun To shoot a recruit, to vanquish a victim Whose only fault lies in a bun The poor nibble in a starving team Barrels and muzzles dominate In thoughts, actions, deeds and priorities Held high in fake media to disseminate Philosophies and heresies propagated in sororities With convoluted creeds Infants decry when refugees die In droves as their faith pleads On its knees for the dissolution of the lie Shouted aloud by a boisterous crowd Gathered despite a genocide Perpetrated by the mighty and the proud Who pronounce their side innocent of fratricide In the DRC, South Sudan and Syria Where Christians suffer untold humiliation Malaria, starvation, indignity and diarrhea And unprecedented persecution and the violation Of human rights While the UN watches inept In the face of blatant veto fights Pursued with vigour kept High on an agenda of futility Arguing a fruitless case Resting on the volatility and motility Of the talk shop whose base Inspires revulsion At the incompetence and pretence To take action on the expulsion Of sanity and competence Hitherto worshipped as holy grail By the General Assembly Whose voice and choice are shot off the rail By the mighty and bubbly Who appoint themselves arbiters To determine nothing gone wrong in Yemen Despite the death of powerless characters When the Security Council in unison shouts amen.
