Its Very Existence

The elite global club of nations wholly

dedicated to amicable relations between

its members where each pledges to uphold

human rights and all value sovereignty

holding freedom, liberty and security as their 

highest achievements in the goal of safeguarding 

and enriching the human experience are all 

members in good standing free to approach 

a podium to expound on their sterling records 

in the aforementioned fields and to boast 

among themselves that each is equal in quality 

and respect to the other. One outstanding outlier 

betrays the lack of complete unity with its 

bystander status for its very presence is deemed 

to be the root of disequilibrium and cause

for strife and so, not quite a collegial member

but one continually singled out for its sins

insisting it has the right to sovereign authority

security and freedom of its population from

the malign intentions of nation-critics accusing 

it of the cardinal sin of its very existence.
