Right Is Not A Ball Poem by Kassem Oude

Disputes are usual between groups
And persons on issues huge, small
Each allege that right with his troops
They're wrong, right is not like a ball

Alas no sheer jurist nor court
But the entire world will divide
So rules of force justice extort
What is right if the ridden ride

Flat and fertile land is easy slice
If inhabited by old means folk
For the strong would give advice
And add to them a heavy yoke

Repression gives room to revolt
Which might brutally retaliate
And chaos would broadly assault
None prevails but graveyard gate

To mighty and wealthy I'd say:
You've top progress, global trade
Stop smashing put arms at bay
Mull fair solution you could aid.
