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
