War Crimes

(Dedicated to all who suffer the wrath of military SupremacyDeepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com )

 

[Must we wonder why UN and NATO can never sanction against Western and Israeli aggression? As occupiers executed Saddam Hussein for hearsay domestic killings, allied Invaders are still free after destroying Iraq inflicting 655,000+ well documented killings! How just is our justice? Kolki] 

 

Judges punish citizens

For felony, battering, and crimes!

Lawyers build cases for the jurors

Proving innocence or guilty as charged!

 

Nations join together -

To stop imperialism by super power!

Creating United Nations, International Court -

With votes, veto, and legal power!

 

But super power can buy votes!

Bribe lawyers or apply own veto for war!

Dividing nations creating allied power

Attack and occupy country at peace

Exercising brutal military adventure!

Killing, terrifying, abusing civilians

Destroying culture ancient and dear!

 

International court remains helpless and silent!

As war crime tribunals punish victims of violence!

While criminals of wars celebrate victory -

Making world more fragile, divided, and angry!
