The Diplomatic Dilemma

It was a secret mission A vote was cast to make the decision More yeas then neighs Powers that be did say To keep it under the radar No talking at the bar Without discussion Quiet no cussing Betting on trusting It would be for the best Getting the enemy to confess Using a spy Or a drone that can fly To unearth a deadly lie Is this a cool thing? Or a planned daring fling Done behind closed doors Silence on the masses’ floor If done with success Leaders will address Saying ‘we are impressed’ But if it fails Someone gets nailed There is a bust Bodies are turned to ashes and dust Sparking an honest integrity debate Are these morals great? Securing nation’s freedoms when at stake There are other ways to get international relations done Some are actually fun Interacting with global others Respecting daughters and brothers Shaking a hand A worthy command To bring peace And allow one’s body to decide when to be deceased
