Ukraine War Reminds Me of King Solomon

I would like to point out King Solomon's judgement,
Two women were having a severe argument
Over a child's ownership, they had no agreement
They came to Solomon whose wisdom was eminent

Solomon was asked to find the true mother
So that the power of Justice didn't wither
A huge crowd for this did anxiously gather
The King knew only true mother would bother

He wanted the child to be cut into two
That was the best judgement in his view
Fraudulent mother said that would rescue
Real mother wanted to give up the issue

Let the baby live with her peacefully
I disown my rights for it absolutely
She said these words resolutely
She rejected the judgement fully


The fraudulent mother praised Solomon
By saying he was a genius among men
Solomon declared her as a real demon
He chose the right mother with acumen

If we may cause disaster to the whole Nation
A true leader gives up his power with elation
As he must protect his country's population
Otherwise, all the citizens suffer devastation?
