The atrocity of stoning
\nThe vagaries of those
\nWho have the law within their grasp
\nBut as we see they chose<\/p>\n
To completely disregard it
\nA sentence of regret
\nBurying a victim in the earth
\nAnd others let<\/p>\n
Loose to throw rocks at their head
\nTheir faces torn away
\nTheir eyes are blinded
\nBleeding this is how you pay<\/p>\n
The piper in Saudi Arabia
\nThe torture said to be
\nLawful
\nAnd desirable
\nIn fact, its infamy<\/p>\n
For governments in the west
\nTo work alongside them and say
\nThey are helping us with security
\nAlong the way<\/p>\n
Puts us in a position
\nof agreeing to their stance
\nThe ugly and the ignorant
\nAlmost enjoy the chance<\/p>\n
Of getting into bed with the most vile
\nOf sentences, we
\nWatch women someones mother
\nBeing stoned to death
\nWe see <\/p>\n
people chucking house bricks
\nTearing through their skin
\nSuffering such terror
\nExcuses wearing thin<\/p>\n
Not in our names no not at all
\nBeing forced against a wall
\nAnd broken by the rocks and stone
\nAnd knowing you are all alone<\/p>\n
Death comes slowly to those who
\nCarry out this stoning too
\nNemesis is on the case
\nProtector of the human race<\/p>\n
If one’s relative was there
\nBeing broken in some square
\nImagine it imagine long
\nFor every which way this is wrong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
