Thumbing His Nose by Raymond A. Foss
Thumbing his nose
showing the sole
the blood of his boots
in the face of the world

Claiming cease-fire
yet killing his people
fighting in the cities
Mistrata, Ajdabiya and Zintan
while the world sets to enforce
so little, so late
I pray it will be enough


March 18, 2011
UN Security Council approval of sanctions against Libya
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/17/libya.civil.war/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1
&
calling on President Obama and the world
to act in the Middle East, especially in Libya and Bahrain,
to stand with the people
yearning to breathe free
and not worrying about the results,
that it is always right to stand for basic human rights
&
on the transformations since the beginning of January -
all the protests in Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Oman,
Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Palestinian Territories, Djibouti, Mauritania, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, etc.
