A Guilty Weight: A Meaningful Depth

A sweet briefcase on foreign policy - boxed in by proxy wars - a poem.

Our soldiers serve with abundant unity,
Intellectual guile, every opportunity -
Performing well within their community.
Well-trained experts, allies, their duty.

A fraudulent toughness, discarding the weight;
Efforts effective, by scorching too late;
Funding these proxies, confiding a slate
Of weapons so gallant, firing straight.

Comfort with meaning, measured reliance -
Gifting these allies a mode of defiance -
Proposing those nations stay in compliance,
Imploring damaging, willful resilience!

This attitude seems so empathetic;
Feathered to be quite copacetic -
A policy based on thinking, prophetic;
Communists, theocracies, unsympathetic.

For sure, Bin Laden had to pay -
Al Qaida wiped out, for some reason, today;
Solemani now murdered, did not go astray -
Putin and Xi are enemies that prey.
