Yeah Man | Yemen

 YEAH MAN | YEMEN

“Si di hypocrites dem a ga-long deh…” ~ Bob Marley


Yeah man, Yemen, let’s talk about Yemen
if you weren’t and still aren’t
talking to me about the
peoples of Yemen,
Syria, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan,
Sub-Saharan Africa and the
Horn of Africa, et al,
with all due respect,
mi nuh want fi hear one scintilla about
Ukraine, his-crane, her-crane or v-crane.


By means of antebellum hubris and arrogant posturing,
the proverbial chicken has come to roost
manufactured consent
media complicity
The media have no integrity, credibility or shame.


“Si di hypocrites dem a ga-long deh…” ~ Bob Marley


Lies and more lies, distortions and
the lack of accountability.
Per the African proverb, when elephants fight,
it is the grass that suffers
yes, when two elephants fight,
It is the grass that suffers

We, the common people, are the grass.


Forever contradicting his stance

hat in hand, he looks to Riyadh,
Tehran and Caracas,
he, as in the Washington One
the Washington One has been made
to posture as if he were a mendicant.
Only to get snubbed left
and right top dead center.



Longing to be don
no church on his hill, yet he,
the pompous and petulant one
has been dispatched to Riyadh
to cash in favors owed
oh so swiftly and not so gracefully he was dismissed
oh how the tables have turned
from a unipolar to multipolar reality
Realpolitik.


“Si di hypocrites dem a ga-long deh…” ~ Bob Marley


By who, by when, bye then—a joke yuh a mek
are you to agree to those terms?
When you’ve accused the
rather bellicose
Prancing Bear of the same
betraying your people’s trust
contradicting your pledges
further arming the insecure Crown Scion
yeah man, so that he can further
the destruction Yemen.


How to; who too, he too?
any help from Tsion?
I don’t give a Houthi, if you don’t
respect humanity, I’ah man seh fire and more fire
yeah man—UAE, yuh a violate Yemen, mi si yuh to
yeah, mi si yuh to.
