New York Times Photo of a Starving Child in Yemen
LYRICS
We’ve got ourselves one hell-of-a situation
One nation… divided….
Where’s the God? (How odd)
Are the children all invisible
How is it possible
Without a single care about their air
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need
What about the grandchildren?
The massive debt we’ve left for them
Shot our load watching bombs explode
Stubborn fools burning fossil fuels
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about children… and Facebook removing a New York Times picture of a 7-year-old girl named Amal that is starving to death due to the war in Yemen.
“Photo of a Starving Girl in Yemen Prompts Facebook to Remove Posts of Article”
For a few hours after The New York Times published an article about conflict and hunger in Yemen, Facebook temporarily removed posts from readers who had tried to share the report on the social platform.
At issue was a photograph of a starving child.
