See them, see how they raise their voices,
See the way they gesticulate and pontificate,
They highlight monsters from across the sea,
And condemn the critters across the deserts;

But they fail to look at themselves,
Bloodied history of mass massacres,
Forced occupation of foreign lands,
And state sanctioned sovereign assassinations;

These ones can only fool fools,
Not four-eyed discerning minds,
That see through their criminal mendacity,
And characteristic self adulating oratory.
The land of the free and home of the brave - America - has stopped arms support to Saudi Arabi over the killing of Journalist Kashoggi, a citizen of Virginia. The lawmakers that reached this resolution mouthed their "values and principles" as underlying reasons for reaching the "landmark" decision.

Then one wonders why this same uncle sam, big brother of the world, that has not stopped toppling governments and causing mayhem across the world would stand on a pedestal of integrity to denigrate a country for engaging in acts not alien to the stars and stripes. HYPOCRITES.
