In the land of Syria, fierce and wild,
Rebels siezed Damascus, the city beguiled.
Assad was deposed, the conflict took flight,
Into a new era, shrouded in night.
The downfall of Assad, a shift in the East,
Turkey boasts gains while Russia's in least.
But the spoils of war can be but a mirage,
Ever shifting sands in a challenging montage.
As Russia and China the war rules amend,
NATO's game plan, they endeavour to defend.
Cyber security, their vigilant stride,
To protect hallowed infrastructure, they stand unified.
