The Silent Shield

Title: The Silent Shield

In a global arena, where peace hangs by a thread,
Lone echoes resound as a veto’s path is tread.
Antony Blinken, the guardian of distant shores,
Defends the conscience behind this unheard discourse.

Amid plights that ravage, undying scars of strife,
Determination, like a beacon, lights up the night.
Whispers laden with sorrow, drowning in dismay,
A paradox blooms as compassion fades away.

Yet, behind that veto, flickering in his eyes,
A deeper truth unfolds, masked by darkened skies.
A shield cast silently, to protect the unknown,
A fragile balance on diplomacy’s throne.

For wars waged afar, their consequences profound,
Reality’s harsh melody, its echoes resound.
Within this battleground, where shadows intertwine,
The fragile line of defense, a burdensome shrine.

In echoes of dissent, the world plea for a truce,
Painting visions of solace, as hope seeks to seduce.
While decisions, cold as ice, are made in blinking time,
The cost of a verdict, measured in human rhyme.

In retrospect we ponder, the choices that unfold,
A tapestry of heartache, where stories yet untold.
And as we search for answers, truth’s relentless quest,
We hope for unity, to heal the world so stressed.
