And countries get closer to reviving
old trade wars, where neighbours withhold,
and ransom, emblems of neighbourliness,
goods that were once thought basic to survival.
Instead we get closer to the remoteness
where arms and drones are what we exchange,
in wars that offer no escape from conflict.
There our former stance of holding tight
to our allies, whilst keeping a closely watch
on our enemies, all in the hope of unity,
now seems somewhat pointless.
