In The News

There's a coup in Mali,
Unrest there's endemic,
From French conquest in eighteen ninety-eight,
The flame put to the wick,

In Iraq hundreds of protestors killed,
Demanding social change,
A government built along ethnic lines,
The list of complaints too long to arrange,

Alexei Navalny has been poisoned,
For speaking 'gainst the state,
He now joins a long line of Putin rivals,
Who suffered the same fate.
That is not all,
I'd need a lot more days,
To outline the hard times around the world,
For the people wanting a better way.
