Saudi Justice

Saudi Arabia, our so-called "friend"

And ally in the Middle East,

Has proved once again it knows

How to perform a real blood feast.

 

Forty-seven alleged terrorists

On ONE day were executed

By beheading or the firing squad.

That it happened is undisputed.

 

Vague laws and dubious trials…

And then it's suddenly bang! or whack!

That's one way to stifle dissent

When you think you're under attack.

 

Consider our dealings with the Saudis.

Doesn't the thought make you recoil

Of billions of dollars in weapons sales

And our dependence on Saudi oil?

 

Some people here who are running for office

Categorically fail to condemn

The Saudis' actions, which goes to show

Some of us aren't much different from them.

I think these are brave words and i for one need to know what is going on in the world more because i didn't have a clue. I think an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind Bob....so as long as we keep killing for killing we all end up with more and more of us dead and wanting to kill more and more of us until we all end up wanting to death penalty someone somewhere for something.
It's atrocious!
