Outside The United Nations Building Ain’t As Friendly As It Seems Inside

Diplomats can be oh so very diplomatic.

They recognize each other for this

and thank each other for that

and even when everything

is going sideways they’re

all polite and shit and

dressed in their Sunday

finest while non diplomatic

regular citizens struggle to make

their way through a puzzling barnyard

where they’re maligned, molested and milked.

Thank you, friend.

Barry out.

Diplomats don’t think, talk or act like regular people yet they purport to represent us.

Diplomas are right up there too.
