United Nations Scandal Games
By
James Bredin
The UN had a new scandal just about every second day.
Dark details put in the shredder in the usual way,
Covered their telltale tracks by deleting all the facts,
Threw out the hard drives too and then sat back and relaxed.
Designed to keep the peace but the UN loved a little war,
But call them peacekeeping amid battles, bullets, guts and gore,
Wall to wall dictators too, where they came to shout and strut their stuff,
Show the whole world how they can huff and puff and bluff.
And that Saddam oil-for-food scandal never occurred,
The thought of dishonesty at the UN should be absurd,
International investigators found nothing worth while,
It was all gone or it was hidden in their usual style.
They call it our collective failure -- that trouble over there,
All that killing and failed states in Africa and elsewhere,
We are responsible for it all and therefore we should pay,
As they commit genocide almost every night and day.
And that million people killed in Rwanda was our fault too,
Our peacekeepers couldn’t stop the killers and couldn’t subdue,
But the UN kept its good name for those who still believed,
Or those who thought that this time they were not being deceived.
