Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

A Brighter Tomorrow

The Western world will breathe easier when Kim Jong Un
starts the denuclearization of North Korea.
And the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin gives
Ukraine back its lost peninsula of Crimea.

There will be celebrations worldwide when Israel
and Palestine stop the hate and settle their dispute.
And the constant threat of war is no longer looming,
for both nations' right to exist is deemed absolute.

The world will breathe easier when Bashar al-Assad
ends his civil war and finally leaves Syria.
And the militant Islamist group Boko Haram
stops raping girls and is driven from Nigeria.

Democracy will win when President Donald Trump
is exposed and reduced to a political quirk.
And global warming's threat is taken seriously,
so the fate of our planet is not left to guesswork.

Razaan Killawi January 8, 2019 at 7:53 AM This upsets me because many people make the Palestinian-Israeli conflict seem as a childish dispute that if settled will end hate. This conflict is so much more than that, a matter of people(Israelis) claiming that country is their's when it is not, taking the culture and identity of Palestinians, diminishing it and then claiming it as their own. I hope I have helped you understand the conflict a little more and that your poetry only grows and becomes more beautiful and motivating. :) Emile Pinet January 8, 2019 at 9:19 AM Thanks Razaan, as I said your opinion is duly noted, however it is still a dispute no one said it was childish, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

Razaan Killawi January 8, 2019 at 7:45 AM Hi Emile, beautiful poem :) however I disagree with you about "There will be celebrations world wide when Israel and Palestine stop the hate and settle their dispute." It is not a matter of a 'settling a dispute' but rather a matter of justice. The people of Palestine were kind enough to open their doors for Jews after WW2, and they never know that it would become a matter of people claiming that the country belonged to them. Emile Pinet January 8, 2019 at 9:20 AM Thanks Razaan, your opinion is duly noted, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
