World News Today

In the darkest corners of this spinning globe,
Where the headlines shout of violence and woe,
A narrative unfolds, a tale untold,
With chilling truths and stories yet to fold.

Washington, oh Washington, what have you done?
Supplying cluster bombs, a lethal gun,
To Kyiv, a land torn by endless strife,
A cruel weapon, claiming innocent lives.

And in the East, a dance upon the stage,
USA draws closer, forging a new page,
With China's Yellen, links solidify,
But what are the secrets hidden in their eye?

Across the ocean, where the Rhine River flows,
German clashes erupt, bitter blows,
At Eritrea's festival, a night so grim,
As 26 police fall victim to violence's whim.

Yet, it does not end, for in another land,
LGBT protests rise, a fervent stand,
In Georgia's heart, equality they seek,
But intolerance and hatred reach their peak.

The world, it spins, encased in darkness deep,
As power struggles and conflicts seep,
But do we ponder on the choices we make?
The endless cycle of violence, for what's at stake?

In the weaving tapestry of world anew,
We, the observers, question what is true,
Can peace be found amidst this tangled mess?
Or will the horrors continue to suppress?

Let us not turn a blind eye, but instead,
Seek understanding, compassion instead,
For in the darkest depths, there's still a chance,
To change the course and foster a new stance.

So let us rise, united hand in hand,
And shatter the cycles of violence's demand,
For a world where cluster bombs cease to fall,
Where love triumphs, embracing one and all.
