The case in the UN corridors

Thanks to Nada for finding this gem.

I tried to translate this amazing song. It really rings truth especially for those who have been following the Palestinian question or anyone who dealt with meetings at the UN. It is soo true.

The “cause” travelled..
To present its complaint in the corridors of international courts..
The Assembly has dedicated the session to discuss the issue of “the case”..
Delegates from all nations came..
From countries of the North and the South..
From small countries..
From big countries..
Everyone met at a formal session..

The Assembly dedicated the session to discuss the issue of “the case” ..
The Secretary-General's made a speech..
He talked about peace..
And discussed the matter..
He launched the project:
The justice of the cause,
The freedom of peoples, human dignity and the Bill of Rights,
The cease-fire, the ending the conflict..

The voting, the recommendations, the decisions in outstanding problems, the consensus..

Reliable sources, quoting informed sources made statements..
The organisation studies.. The organisation felt..
The organisation decided..
To send an envoy..
The envoy stated that he is an envoy..
From the sources ..and that a solution ..
In the way of the solution ... and when night came...
The judges were tired..Long debate made them tired..
So they shut the books and went to sleep.

Outside there was the sound of winter and darkness..
And the desperate searching for peace...
And hunger was sleeping in the shelters of the displaced..
And the wind is still..

Uprooting the tents..
