Diplomacy

Often underrated,
Often understated,
Often underutilised.

Often misunderstood,
Often mishandled,
Often misinterpreted.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain a ceasefire.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain what you need to put out a fire.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain what you desire.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To prevent the spread of all that is dire.
