Multicultural UN Nov 28th, 2011

What’s the benefit of being a member of the UN?
It’s obvious that we are not one of their favorite sons,
Banned from the Security Council and couldn’t get that vote,
Their Afghanistan war, our dead soldiers -- all remote -- take note.
Would anyone know or care if we left the United Nations?
Would they continue to ask us for millions to help the Haitians?
Though we can’t vote for our senators or our prime minister by name,
Nor our appointed secret-list Supreme Court judges in our game.
Why are binding referendums forbidden to be discussed?
Why do the powers that be look at euthanasia in disgust?
Without capital punishment where less than half of us vote,
Is it possible that we could stay at home and maybe gloat?
