HUMAN RIGHTSEntry #466732
HUMAN RIGHTS



Universal human rights,
Oh, what a euphemism!
I view this appellation
With lot of cynicism.

Those who preach the human rights
Are the worst offenders.
They send, to kill civilians,
Their marines and bombers.

Guantanamo prison, dogs
Let loose on prisoners,
Naked and pulled by a leash
By young female soldiers!

A sovereign country is
Attacked illegally,
Its prez given death by one
Who acts criminally!

What an irony that the
Human rights champion
Has put all the sacred rights
To stark oblivion!
