Black Swan

Black Swan
Six years since Covid’s advent
Here’s another Black Swan event

Initiated by Israel and USA
ignited by Iran…

Regime change was the name of the game
Decapitation was the modus and the aim

Ironically, Creating a martyr after a thousand years;
Saw layers of fighters,
Like the million year survivor -Octopus

The one with nine brains, three hearts, no bones, colour blind and with blue blood.

Rebellion was the core desire
Retaliation was the outcome with ire

Proxies across shelled and killed
Progressive neighbours hounded and billed

Hormuz strait, not so straight
now in a mess
The world feel the stress

without fuel and gas impacts kitchens at home and even the local mess

Ships torpedoed
Wrecks towed
Clusters of ballistic projectiles and drone
Showers the West Asian skies, where next unknown

Fox’s howl, rumours growl
Whispers of the world crying foul.

Cries we hear
Of Silent pain
children forlorn
Lives lost in vain

Is it for oil ?
Is it retribution ?
Is it about religion ?
Or the two sects of one !

Is it between nations ?
Is it between notions?
Is it for land ?
In the theatre of rock and sand !

In the shape shifting war
Would any purpose be won

Democracy is rooted in the power of Ballots
Can it come by
with a barrage of Bullets ?

Is it human ego
deciding how people go
Is it Neocon deciding, the world would never know

Sans boots on the ground
no war is won
Will body bags
determine
glory or grin

IMEC, I2U2, MAG7 all stand still
With hope that progress will prevail where there is will

Wars without a selfless purpose
Will meet the fate
Of being a nemesis to harmony
and herald of hate.

Struggling to find the off-ramp stair
The arms of the octopus
grime the quagmire.

Does any Nation have the mandate
to put the world to harm at will

In this clash between a two-headed entity and eight-armed creature- both shape-shifting at will !

Trillions lost
Let not millions die.

Only time will tell if this black swan
swam
just to grease or to bring peace.
