Condoned ... Condemned

Thank heavens for the existence of that
distinguished and noble world body where 
the rights of humankind to exist unmolested 
and secure, safe from degrading misery and
violent attacks are enshrined in that covenant 
all its members heed and respect, the code 
setting out humankind's obligations to 
one another on human rights. In that august
body is vested the authority to intervene
and to protect the world's most vulnerable.
Yet through some strange warped inversion
there are those members whose transgressions
though stark and barbaric in exercising their
penchant for tyranny and bloody conflict
inciting to mass murder in the name of an
ideological religious and tribal bigotry
can be conveniently overlooked for they
are many and the power of their influence
so robust. Even so among all the nations of
the world is one and one alone surrounded
by enmity and vicious hostility, an island
of inner calm and equality where shelter is
given to all within but whose presence on 
the planet and within its small geography
enrages the tyrants and leaders reliant on
persecution and intimidation to remain secure
in control of their nations. Those with whom
they consort, others like themselves of whom
there are no lack lead the vaunted halls of
the United Nations in defaming attacks on
the singular nation whose values reflect the
very moral foundation on which the world
body's assurances of equality are based
while base calumnies distinguish its alumnae.
