Anwar Sadat, the third President of Egypt, becomes the hero of the poem. Your historic perception you have brilliantly expressed with sufficient information. This is an amazing poem shared.10
This is a poem about history, recent history. When I was younger, it was news and current affairs. Thanks for your comment.
A recounting of events that some have forgotten, and many never knew about. Well done, Michael! : -)
It was not all that long ago, though, for someone of my age. I saw TV news of the assassination, never forgot it.

History was one of my favourite subjects at high school and it remains so. You are right: there is politics in history, but also mystery. Why was Sadat so keen on peace, even with the old enemy, Israel? Why did Nixon try to cover up the Watergate burglary and the break-in to Daniel Ellsberg's office. He did not need those illegal tactics at all and they cut short his presidency.

This is an emotional piece of writing which unveils an era of statesmen leaders who had the guts to forget the past in order to build a peaceful and promising future for the world as a whole and for their own countrymen in particular. This poem presents a particular phase of history in the making.
It is indeed an emotional poem about Anwar Sadat, who did not deserve to be assassinated. A hero for peace. Thanks again.
