The United Nations Peacekeeper Attempts Poem by Terence George Craddock

it is a myth of course
the United Nations
does not stand for peace

but a major power statis quo
the United Nations has its
own army they are peacekeepers

the United Nations
its own army weapons soldiers
soldiers with blue helmets

and white tanks
but their weapons
still go bang

bang bang
can kill
they are not

firing riot issue rubber bullets
United Nations peacekeepers
fire live rounds in peace attempts

wars conflict situations aggressions
can be deep rooted in complex issues
historical wars feuds hate violence

resources pay off who gets
biggest slices a slice of pie
victors claim all war spoils
