poem: United Nations General Assembly

Again they gather
From countries
Far and near
Rich and poor
Democrats, and not
United Nations
General Assembly
Of Dicks and Harrys

Together they throng
Men, women
Opinion leaders
Rulers of the world
And architects of ruins
United Nations
General Assembly
A show, a charade

They gather
To talk,
Again and again
Of solutions
To problems
Created by them;
Of ends to wars
Sponsored by them
United Nations
General Assembly
Of hypocrites, and quacks!

They gather,
To offer
Little in substance
That our world will be safer
Secure, or peaceful
That economies will be stronger
And jobs secure

They gather again
To snub, or hug
Their foes or friends
United Nations
General Assembly
Some sluggards, some jesters
