Yeah Man | Yemen
Built on Bob Marley's “Si di hypocrites dem a ga-long deh…”—a refusal to grieve selectively while Yemen, Syria, Somalia, and the Horn go unmentioned.
“Si di hypocrites dem a ga-long deh…” ~ Bob Marley
Yeah man, Yemen, let’s talk about Yemenif you weren’t and still aren’ttalking to me about thepeoples of Yemen,Syria, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan,Sub-Saharan Africa and theHorn of Africa, et al,with all due respect,mi nuh want fi hear one scintilla aboutUkraine, his-crane, her-crane or v-crane.
By means of antebellum hubris and arrogant posturing,the proverbial chicken has come to roostmanufactured consentmedia complicityThe media have no integrity, credibility or shame.

Lies and more lies, distortions andthe lack of accountability.Per the African proverb, when elephants fight,it is the grass that suffersEyes, when two elephants fight,It is the grass that suffersWe, the common people, are the grass.
Forever contradicting his stancehat in hand, he looks to Riyadh,Tehran and Caracas,he, as in the Washington Onethe Washington One has been madeto posture as if he were a mendicant.Only to get snubbed leftand right top dead center.
Longing to be donno church on his hill, yet he,the pompous and petulant onehas been dispatched to Riyadhto cash in favors owedoh so swiftly and not so gracefully he was dismissedoh how the tables have turnedfrom a unipolar to multipolar realityRealpolitik.
