Up in Arms

    Where there is no trust
      there is no point in ‘talks’

    Terms one side proposes
      the other will reject ...

    But 'keep the momentum going’
      'Schedule another round of talks' 

     Fancy tuxedos drone on and yawn 
       boy soldiers fall ~ families up in arms

Well said Gershon. All talks accomplish is to get more people killed
