A far-off country suffers woes:
Politics treads
on our toes;
The four isles
of the Rising Sun
Are shocked and
stunned by one lone gun!
Here firearms
play a minor role
As Japan enforces
gun control
But Shinzo Abe
on campaign
Is, sadly unprotected,
slain!
Friday* - focus
of world news!
Perplexity - fierce
fight for clues;
Ex-premier -
household name at home
Long-term on
the world stage known.
Much fumbling
for an explanation
In this saddened,
grieving Nation
Which, conscious
of the bell that tolls,
Nonetheless goes
to the polls.
GDP – more on defence?
The point is
moot, the mood intense
Alas, we can’t
turn back the clock
Japan-the-Pacific
takes stock…
