Protection and free trade ignite
Polemics worldwide; we sit tight
As worried Macron holds the reins
All this, our nervousness explains.
A new riddle by this Bard
(Who finds that politics are hard;)
The stakes are high – we’re on the fence
Must we now finance our defence?
War is such an ugly word
But given now what has occurred
There is a joker in the pack
So sadly, there’s no turning back…
“If you want peace, prepare for war”!
Old Julius Caesar knew the score;
Each generation finds it tough
Once more, our ball rolls in the rough…
Will the power of words persuade?
We’re crisis-ridden and afraid;
Uncle Sam and Russian Bear
Flex their muscles – so beware!
