UN[ited Talkshop of Nations]


Talking of human dignity in New York,
Terrorizing own people in Tehran;
Depriving basic rights in Moscow;
So much for the great strides of man!
Talking of cooperation and pacifism,
So much for the small steps of mankind
So much for Washington's war on terrorism!
All easier said than done,
So much for the freedom of speech in London!
So much for Africa's corrupt despots
 For the development and talk of freedom
So much for the ignoramuses of the Middle East
For their tolerance, Brotherhood and legendary wisdom!
Talking of peace and right of coexistence in the Big Shop
Doing just the opposite in Tel Aviv
What a hypoctrical world of Nations
In what crazy times we live!
Talks after talks
By the big folks
At the big talkshop
Talks about value and synergy
Talks about undeliverable hope!
Narratives of prosperity of all nations
The more equal Nations of war
With stocks and piles of war machines
Bossing around less equals
And talks of security on all dimensions?!
For ten scores UNited,
Five Big Brothers of Nations?
