In Yugoslavia
where Slobodan Milosevic
was “killing his own people!”
in the last socialist state of Europe,
In Libya
where Muammar Gaddafi
was “killing his own people!”
in an oil-rich, independent country,
In Syria
where Bashar al-Assad
was “killing his own people!”
And standing in the way of Israel,
In Detroit
where Dave Bing
was “killing his own people!”
in a Black-majority city.
