United Nations



As terrorists put their houses back in order
With reasons for incursion of the Israeli border
They seem to think this behavior is honorable
As if deceiving nations is forgettable

Slight, or public snub, would have brought dishonor, and disdain
From civilized nations, who could arise, and complain
But stand self-righteously by, to keep a peace, not really made
United Nations would fare better, serving lemonade
