The desperate people
of Yemen sigh.
How many more will
suffer today?
How many more
children will cry?
A Saudi-led
coalition
Strikes with a
heartless disregard,
Leaving behind
misery--
Death and
destruction its calling card.
Choking the poor
country, the Saudis
Organized a major
blockade,
Cutting off vital
medicine,
Food, and water, and
stopping all trade.
Cluster bombs have
fallen on cities.
Thousands of
innocent people have died.
Hospitals and
schools have been hit.
How can such horror
be justified?
Millions of people
risk starvation
If all the bombing
does not end.
The Saudis hunger
for more and more weapons,
And they have
billions of dollars to spend.
A bomb made by
Lockheed Martin
Hit a Yemeni school
bus
Killing fifty-one
people, and hurting
Many more, thanks to
us.
A U.S. bomb hit
funeral mourners;
One destroyed a
marketplace.
That our support
causes such
Atrocities is a
disgrace.
The people suffer
from cholera--
Something that is
hard to avoid
When a country's
sanitation
Facilities are being
destroyed.
A massive
humanitarian crisis
Plagues the country
despite appeals
To end the conflict
by caring nations,
While major players
dig in their heels.
Sunni-Shiite
conflicts continue
With innocent
citizens caught in between.
Callous
leaders turn their heads,
Afraid to speak up
or intervene.
