There Will be No Day of Remembrance

                                      

There will be no Day of Remembrance, for the dead people of Yemen
Or their slaughtered children, massacred in planned executions
Their murderers reside in a number of lands across the sea
Supplying the weapons that kill; and these war criminals are free

There will be no Day of Remembrance for the dead people of Iraq
Their country reduced to rubble by infamous attacks
The invasion of their country was based on a big lie
And the perpetrators are free, and many people still die

There will be no Day of Remembrance for the dead people of Libya
A country that was bombed by war criminals hysteria
A country now in ruins and a haven for terrorists
Some of them reportedly assisted by western war specialists

There will be no Day of Remembrance for the dead people of Syria
A country laid waste by war criminals, is that not familiar?
The plotters and planners of the decimation of that country
Parade on the world stage, and are a hellish effrontery

On their Day of Remembrance some war criminals will lay wreaths
Standing to attention in their countries, pretending sadness and grief
Will they ever be held accountable for their bloody war crimes?
Or has justice been corrupted by these dishonourable swine?

Instead, these war criminals dressed in all their finery
Are getting away with all their atrocities and treachery
Some will lay wreaths and pretend they have reverence
While their victims that are dead: will have no Day of Remembrance
