O Rafah's gate, shut long and tight,
Now meeting to open, in Cairo's light.
Flexed is the stance, of Hamas the bold,
God grant them wisdom, a truce to uphold.
Oh woe to Assad, in Syria's plight,
Betwixt Russia, Iran and the Hezbolla fight.
They drain him of strength, his power recedes,
His downfall swift as Aleppo bleeds.
Upon the Korean border, a dance of tit for tat,
Kim Jong Un stirs, like a tasteless vat.
A year have passed, the danger thick,
Pray for peace, lest the final wick lit.
