Lately the world has been very strange,
Many nations embroiled in a chaotic and hostile exchange,
Of words, threats, drone attacks and blockades.
Impacting lives, destroying cities, economies and trade.
Someone powerful first tried stopping war and strife,
Then vainly thought himself the creator of a great life.
Tried to buy himself a much coveted peace prize,
Then tried to cover a past mistake with misdirection and lies.
One thing led to the next, the sleeping unrest awoke,
First in one country, then the second, then the third - all powerful military strokes.
A siege and civilian hits, trade grinding to a halt,
Prices skyrocketing, major economies facing a currency shock.
As a global village, the world is now a connected web,
If a point is burnt, the fires spread.
It leads to a collapse of a fragile world order,
exacerbated with misleading news and reactionary fodder,
Published all over the world in different ways,
Confusion and propaganda dominating our days.
On one side there is AI causing a disruptive revolution,
On the other there is war, with no honorable solution.
How to stop this from spreading we do not know,
Is the future going to be full of confusion, instability and woe?
When will wars come to an end?
When can we all have peaceful days?
Can someone good make change for real, not just pretend
Can we all together end our warring ways?
Hope some good sense prevails.
Hope our future generations can only remember our smiles and not our wails.
There was peace on earth until recently
When we were growing, learning, inventing, expanding and free.
