Abuse of Human Rights is a thing that's Worldwide <br />And many who think they have God on their side <br />Would need for to clean the windows to their soul <br />They see torture only as human control <br />Power in the wrong hands can be a deadly thing <br />Yet to the idea many democratically elected Government leaders cling <br />That the people elected them and they must be okay <br />Though to Human Rights laws little respect they do pay <br />The human rights of refugees the downtrodden and oppressed <br />By Governments of Nations they flee to are often transgressed <br />To want a better and a safer life is treated as a crime <br />And like ordinary criminals they serve jail time <br />And many leaders who talk of a fair go tend to forget to recall <br />That they mean a fair go for some not a fair go for all.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abuse-of-human-rights/
