Diplomacy Poems - Poems about Diplomacy

Boots, Love, and Alien Diplomacy My love is five five, a sturdy delight, With eyes like warm coffee just kissed by the night. His hair oh, it's brown, but wait, there's a glint, Silver like stardust, a celestial hint. A soldier, he stands with a mission in mind, So set in his ways, he's a rare, stubborn kind. His socks hide a...

“What’s in it for me” an angry voice echoed beyond the sea “What’s in it for me?”, I want an answer before the day is done;” the voice kept screaming over the intercom. It is one of those days that you hope that things will go her way but when she met a stranger, she thought...

Diplomacy can be a fig leaf for surrender A wolf agrees to postpone the dismember If you want peace, prepare for war Peacetime is what aggressors use it for. Countries have interests, leaders have ambitions For some expansion is a holy mission. Cost and benefits, incentives and deterrents Under peaceful oceans can be riptide currents. The Sioux were promised sacred ground, But promises became...

Often underrated, Often understated, Often underutilised. Often misunderstood, Often mishandled, Often misinterpreted. Yet diplomacy may be the only option, To obtain a ceasefire.

Those who confuse Shubert with Mendelsohn, Most likely can’t tell Mozart from Hayden. They wander through the world without their culture on, And cat-call Aphrodite while fishing for Poseidon. Conspiracy theories have them nervous as ferrets. Academic credentials are considered demerits. They huddle in militias where their rumors bare fangs. In a world where truth and justice are fighting for air, A diploma’s...
