Disarrayed,
When we suffer defeat
Let it be known
We are on
A strategic retreat
Get ready for peace talk
To sit.
US, UN, EU
By own rule
That doesn’t abide
Stand by our side.
But when
To the capital we make
Possible advance
For negotiation
We give no chance,
Since hypocrites to our
Victory tune
Warm-heartedly dance.
Is it impossible
To mount down
For a noted clown?
