UNITED NATIONS @ SEVENTY-ONE

America, Britain, China, France & Russia

The five veto-power nations of confusion

Inventors of weapons of mass destruction

Is war your cup of tea?

Do you swab your hands with human blood?

Can’t you hear the cries of innocent souls

Of Palestinian offspring, Syrian kids of oceans,

Progenies of Libya, Somalia, Yemen, etc., etc.?  

UN @ Seventy-one years of male chauvinism

Ten UN Secretary-Generals without a woman

Where there is no woman, no humanism

Little wonder the world is in turmoil

You’ve done well; yet too gory soil

What a civilised world of “paradoxity”

 A world full of worms of hypocrisy

Where wars become the rock of Peace

Yet Peace is not the dearth of wars

Where anarchy becomes the womb

That gives birth to harmony

Yet harmony wedges not the tomb

That consumes babies of wars

UN @71, do something before you die!
