New World Order?

I start every Blog with a poem, since this is my first blog i start with this poem 'New World Order?' Written and perfected on Febuary 27th, 19:35!



New World Order?


Claiming higher moral ground,
Not how their views were originally found?
No, divide and rule, destroy and plunder,
Rape nations of their economic thunder,

Creating divisions, dividing relations,
Having conferences and pointless conversations,
Africa, apparently is a used toy,
No, we need a new world ploy

Hindered democracy lets intervene!
Money to be made? If we succeed
Most advanced continent in the Globe!
Through slavery, War, greed and imperialism!
Dismissing want, and implementing need.

Ignorance is bliss, hatred ignored,
Anger against communities is hidden and stored,
‘For they are at fault that renegade country’,
Shout the hypocrites, head held high,
Civilians are killed, people ask why?

Bosnians never died,
Palestinians do not exist,
Africa is doing well,
And we do not possess the iron fist.

They make the rules, the world complies
They Rob Africa, she cries,
They encourage freedom,
Yet people are not liberated,
Iraq goes boom, children are annihilated

And for the oppressed masses, we will support,
But we must take a piece, perhaps a foreign import?
Money makes the World go round?
No, Money makes Europe go round. ©

As a Muslim British Teenager in this Country, (yes I said Muslim first, British second please do not over analyse that!) I feel a sense of cumulative anger at what is happening in the world. What is more frustrating is that all the injustices throughout the World are being branded as ‘implementing freedom’ this suggestion is absurd. This new ‘fight for freedom’ is simply a new name for imperialism to fit in with the new ideology that nations are free to do what they want. But apparently the larger part of Europe and the United States of America do not feel that way, this is all a larger part to fight terrorism. Now, don’t get me wrong Im all for fighting terrorism, but not when one nation (Iraq) loses over 350,000 of its population and not when innocent men are taken to camps in Cuba without trial, where is the democracy in that? The British government are at fault in this situation, complying with America to compromise our values is not the independent democratic nation that I know and love as Great Britain.

Yes, Saddam was bad everyone agrees including me, but people also agree that War is bad. Robert Mugabe is a tyrant, arguably as bad as Saddam Hussein but where is the ‘liberation’ there? Since when did ‘weapons of mass destruction’ become a fight to give Iraqi’s freedom? When did this transition happen? Muslims have question unanswered by the British government, yet if we speak up we are labelled as ‘terrorists.’ Iran is developing nuclear weapons, so what? Are independent nations not allowed to make decisions for themselves, apparently not? People see Iran as ‘the other’ similar to Russia during the cold war, but if you view Iran closely it is a forward thinking nation, a recent program Iran and the West on BBC 2 highlighted the history between the two nations, and throughout history America has dismissed Iran before it even opened its relations with America. America is number one, yes no one else counts not even Britain that’s the view that I see via the countless American politicians.


The issue of Palestine seems to be the most contentious issue for most young Muslims here in Britain, I Don’t want to get in a wide debate about Palestine but its clear that the victims are the Palestinians yet who receives the support? All these rhetorical questions, but where do the answer's lie?

The British Government asks why Young Muslims are so angry, yet they do not ask why their regime is so messed up? The answer is in front of us, yet through the cobwebs of propaganda via right wing British media we seem to ignore it and go along with the status quo. The British media is so influential in this country and Muslims need to take advantage of that, what we don’t need is token Muslim ‘Lords’ and ‘Barons’ to represent us!
