A Plethora of Myopia and Hysteria

The truth like stark reality remains immutable Despite attempts to promote sophisms Dressed up as verity and verisimilitude at a high table Where misguided minds dabble at euphenisms and cynicisms To disembowel and undermine global discourse Indulging in fallacies To subvert its course and purpose Concealed in feeble diplomacies and convoluted obstinacies Whose flak erupts in fits of anger In inopportune circumstances Where the longer Ego tripping attempts to project wrath instances Couched in veins of business as usual At the wrong time, in a wrong forum Strikes an overly assertive tone so unusual The world is left to wonder why beating a war drum Can’t drive a spat Among allies Who fail to pat Diplomacy rallies On the back Considering the bigger picture as a loftier objective Than a protectionist posture to pack and unpack Rising temperatures and mounting tensions in spite of subjective Positions concealed in the thin veil of national security Stratagems advanced in intransigent camps Determined to undermine global authority and purity To feed bumps, mumps, jumps, stumps In garrulous annals of history Rewritten by myopia To recount a one-leader story Fed on a plethora of hysteria over Syria.
