Boots, Love, and alien 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

Relationship Diplomacy

“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

Premium MemberEvaporating promises

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

Diplomacy and the Irresolute Alternative

without anchor all ships
sail and without passenger
no captain exists to guide
the dispossessed.  Only remains
of Peaceful Assembly can
be glimpsed in the association
of favoritism. A favoritism
of familiarity deflecting contempt
by means of ineptitude.

The life of a fraud officer

The life of a fraud officer

For eight  years
I worked as a fraud officer
Combating visa and passport fraud
Back when I worked 
As a US diplomat.

In Mumbai 
There was so much fraud
But we often had no choice
But to hold our noise
And issue visas.

In Spain not as much
But still quite a bit.

I learned the hard way
So many

I have heard enough of your growl; 
I am well aware of your prowl.
When you wear angry frown,
You appear like a clown. 
Why waste time expecting my howl?!

Premium MemberGive A Drop Of Reason For Peace

The wild clouds
Are traveling
In the firmament.

The missiles and projectiles
Are bursting the profile
Of many innocent people.

The children
Are crying on the benches,
And their moms
Are suffering miserably.

Big and expensive guns
Are devouring mountains,
Valleys and cities.

Where is the love,
Amidst all these killings,
In full fury,
Where day
Becomes night?

In the whirlwind of miseries,
Absent are the roses,
Where nature is gloomy.
Man kills himself, why?
For nothing;

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

   He thinks he's so noble

Diplomacy

Often underrated,
Often understated,
Often underutilised.

Often misunderstood,
Often mishandled,
Often misinterpreted.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain a ceasefire.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain what you need to put out a fire.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To obtain what you desire.

Yet diplomacy may be the only option,
To prevent the spread of all that is dire.

Especially in light of Crimea
But you’re gonna get trolled

Premium MemberModern Diplomacy

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

Premium MemberDiplomacy 101

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
