A Clash of Titans?

Sentosa Island feels the strain
Spotlights on Singapore now train
As leaders of the West and East*
Contemplate the theme of peace.

Bold emblem now lost deep in thought
The Merlion gazes round the port
Long memories halted by a truce
Conclave of demons shaken loose.

Quebec and Trudeau left behind
G7 members in a bind
Seesaw diplomacy still led
By Uncle Sam's risk-taking head.

The world's press swarm to catch the drift
Will this breed harmony or rift?
We wait with bated breath to see
How hard the Titans' clash will be...
