the United Nations
ever and again call to raise billions
to help countries devastated by war
or other mostly man-made catastrophes
I suggest we operate by the causality principle:
the countries who sell all those arms
and military support to the warring parties
or leave the natives no land to grow their own food
simply use the money gained from their sales and appropriations
to help the refugees they created
build up all the cities their weapons destroyed
provide a living for the farmers whose lands
have been sold to agrobusinesses
pay for the education of all the children
unable to have schooling
reconstruct the societies their greedy actions destroyed
sounds like a fair proposal
doesn‘t it??
