Nuclear Diplomacy Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Nuclear Diplomacy

When talking is considered nonsense
mandibles rendered useless
a new way for discourse
becomes brute force

Even inviting your nemesis for tea
to make the opposing view seen
is seen as a waste of time
akin to an ideological crime

preferring grave sabre rattling
leading to battling.
Those who live in glass houses
Must never stone grouses

Some of the missiles
maybe fissile
leading to nuclear despondency
instead of new clear diplomacy

which is sitting down
hankering down
writing down
bowing down

Listening
listing
talking
noting

Nuclear war
Is a no no
Nuclear diplomacy
No substitute for new clear diplomacy
