Unbound, the heart;
Diplomat

   Why is it when my parliamentarian 
     speaks of 'the whole ball of wax'

   He thinks he's so noble
     for raising my tax...

Threats of force seemed a sterling idea
Especially in light of Crimea
But you’re gonna get trolled
And the tanks gonna roll
When diplomacy comes from IKEA...

Patriots
Are the people
That never
Resort to
Injustice, in the name
Of their country.
They are independent thinkers
Supporting diplomacy, not Malevolence.

Diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell
And they ask directions, said Winston Churchill
From my recollection
It changed my complexion
Caused my flesh tones to darken and swell...

WORDS
 
Simple recipes of letters
with a dash of thought.
When served to one once-desired,
either bearing truth
or cloaking deceit,
none ever idle,
none ever empty.
These swords of diplomacy
cut both ways....

Marvel at the meeting!
The mixing of friend and foe
To discern themselvs in debate
Weighing the cons and pro
The margin of error is listed
while lacking diplomacy!
Catcalls, flags and waving hands
all spell democracy...

On the horns of a dilemma
  a daring high-wire act
weighing options carefully
  with diplomacy and tact

Best let nature take her course
  Storms subside with time
Encourage a rapproachement
  Nurture elegant wind-chimes...

The wave, a distant statement
“trust me, I come in peace”

The handshake, firm and strong
held just a bit too long

the hug, a gentle frisk
to minimize the risk

to those who must decide
to double down or let it ride

i heard from the president
news of the desent
of the present
demise of the enemy
no longer will he be
a sigh of diplomacy
or any sigh of false liberty
they got that SOB
dead in Pakistani
osama been laden
the scurge of history




("been" as in past tense)...

There will always be wars
and talks of wars
in villages and in the mist.

Men
perpetually hunger for a land of milk and honey.
Empty,
they fill themselves with hatred.

But
we can not be bothered with that for now.
Supper is done.
Come--
sit at the table and eat.

There will be no wars today....

Regardless the charm and degree of diplomacy I have consistently used,
I’ve been emotionally crushed by my wife, all pleadings for mercy refused,
Leaving my heart and my pride and my ego both deeply and purposely bruised,
Proving that I’m both a cowardly fool...and a glutton for being abused!...

As a matter of fact 
 it needs a little tact   
  just to tell somebody
   that he is a loony.  

Better kill with a smile  
 than old-fashioned guile,
  employing a hammer
   rather than a dagger.

Always aim to be nice 
 under whatever guise,
  it is good policy
   to use diplomacy....

An age old battle
Vampire code of  conduct			

Waging war on the wolves
Against the lycanthropes

How strange it is to see
A sense of diplomacy

A young raven haired boy
Turn into a man

Joining them 
Into an indestructible clan

Together in harmony
There is now no formidable enemy...

no one knows the value of a pause
rushing forward spewing this and that and the other and a mother
recklessly, carelessly, stupidly

I see it happen and I laugh
silently inside my head, under my breath
to myself for I understand the value of diplomacy

so here we are the pause and I not speaking
smirking at their nonunderstanding...

I have to urge myself to rediscover diplomacy
Which has been unused on a long-forgotten shelf.
I am meeting a whole new staff of potential friends.
Who do not know me, so I am marching toward the closet
of things I have not had to use for a bit, hoping to find diplomacy
among the cobwebs of other things I have not had to use for ages....

Modern age
the scientific digital age
people full of varied interests
opposite views
strive
malcontent
force in pretext of economists
clothed in diplomacy
while a lid is kept on hell
while hell is very much alive
then people vote their hero in
with idiosyncrasy he opens the lid of hell
then hell is reborn
into doom and pain never to mention...

Trying to find inspiration
In the simplest of things
To ascertain some meaning 
To my existence
Am I destined for a life of mediocrity?
Or a life of diplomacy?
Only time will tell
One's life is unscripted & undetermined
Until we decide to take initiative
To hold our breath & dive right in
We'll never know our true potential
Or where our value lies....

You have guests downstairs.
In the half lit room, insinuation whispers in intimacy. I never took you there.
But, I am too, grown up portion sizes of loaves of breads, with another spread of jam.
And I console myself. Often there. It has a name.
Worldbuilding. Graduation. Diplomacy.
And for the first time,
It came to my mind.
Ozone had three O’s there, precisely.
I thought I knew it!
Elsewhere....
