Best Saudis Poems
The Fourth of July: a Lie 'Or the Star Spangled BannerWe clad ourselves in colors as we march,
saluting independence through a foggy dream;
gazing at the night alight with flashes,
sparkles,
and firefly screams.
Rockets made in China, cascade/
to the backdrop of the Star Spangled Banner;
a flutter to the wind blown flags made in Brazil
and "I Love America Pins"...

Take a Knee -- Stand Up For FreedomA question or two for those rebels who take a knee
During the USA's National Anthem, openly, for all to see
When playing in Russia will you act similarly
To protest a regime which kills dissidents indiscriminately
What will you do in India...

Crude Energy PolicyThere was a time we were independent,
exporting energy out to the world.
Natural gas helped make us ascendant,
before the energy plan was unfurled.
Clean coal is indeed oxymoronic,
but our technology, better than most.
Nuclear probably is the world's tonic;
solar won't get you a night on the coast.
Shutting down...

The news is deeply depressing, except for a Yemeni
woman activist trying to explain to a dense reporter
that Yemen do not need outside interference.
The reporter wanted to know about Iran, everyone
does, the Saudis and the Israelites.
Iran is a big regional power...

They Have Taught MeVenezuelans have taught me to laugh
Assyrian refugees how to cry

Hindus to face hard times with a sigh
Koreans have taught me courtesy
Thais a sense of wonder
Mongolians have taught me love of country

An Eye For An EyeThe Twin Tower fell
A dastardly crime
A fact not diminished
By the passage of time.
The perpetrators were Saudis,
But Saudi Arabia supplied oil
A comfortable relationship
The West didn’t want to spoil.
They had to do,something,
That was quickly understood,
So they invaded Afghanistan
Just because they could.
After twenty years of chaos...

9-11 Terrorists Were Supported With Saudi Passports But Saudi Arabia Is Saved Still By UsaWhy does USA still protect the Saudis whose travel documents - in some cases to learn flying in the USA but not to focus on landing skills - allowed the 9-11 terrorists to kill 3000 people in USA in 2001? Maybe because it helps USA...

The CaliphateThe Caliphate
Let us think the unthinkable
Let ISIS have their caliphate and be a state
The Zionists took Palestine and called it Israel
Europeans settlers killed off the Indians
And now it is called USA.
The brutalities and horror from ISIS is terrible
But from...

For the Millions He's PaidPhil Mickelson is a fine golfer, one of the best
But his mouth just flunked its first diplomacy test
Said, 'Saudi executes people for being gay'
No way to talk for the millions he's paid
Now KPMG has stopped doing business with Phil
Perhaps for this sports star that's just...

Apologize For Slavery, Part II saw a man the other day
while I was watching my TV,
he angrily proclaimed we should,
“Apologize for slavery!”
Now this struck me as quite bizarre,
for we did this long, long ago,
we fought a war to kill that sin,
the evil of it all do know.
But somehow his...

April 3 Look at the sky!April 3—Look at the sky!
One day the world woke up
To the impending end
As a new asteroid.
Quickly dubbed
The doomsday asteroid
Headed to Earth.
Everyone looked up
At the doomsday asteroid
As the world scrambled
To send space missiles
To blow it away.
Brazilians, Chinese, the EU, Koreans, Japanese, Iraqis,...

Let Iran LiveLet Iran live
Those who want a war in Iran, ought to look
At the people in the street, shopping laughing a good time is had.
Millions of them will be killed and maimed by war is as idiotic as it is senseless and solves nothing. Other

Oil Jackpot In NowayOil jackpot
When coming home from the ship, his coastal town
was in an uproar from every window, people shouted
and banged pot pans together
People danced in the street, which was unheard of
young people shamelessly made love under oaks
so eagerly that trees that had been around forever...

The Middle EastThe Middle East
When the persecuted became persecutors
chaos followed; what a mess the Middle East is
Both sides of the conflict like killing one other
up pops more fanatics with eager knives
If you are an Arab Christian, your life is short
if you are a Muslim, they will...
