Just four days in and desert lands
Upset so many travel plans
The troubled skies light up at night
But not by any long-haul flight…
Hordes of passengers are stranded
Woe to those who have just landed!
Caught helpless, wondering what to do
World politics is led – by who?
The Strait of Hormuz shuts the door
Soon prices at the pumps will soar …
With the power vacuum now created
Peace talks seem fragile and inflated…
