The Veiled Shield

Title: The Veiled Shield

In the depths of shadows, unseen and concealed,
A nation’s agenda, the truth it does shield.
Security Council, a tool for unrest,
Veto power misused, justice undressed.

Hear the cries of nations, desperate for peace,
Their pleas ignored, conflicts fail to cease.
Sorrow fills the void, where harmony should dwell,
Diplomacy thwarted, the toll rings its knell.

The mighty wield power, their interests at stake,
While innocent lives suffer, their hopes forsake.
The aspirations of many, crushed beneath the weight,
An unyielding hand, dictating our fate.

Oh, transparency! A virtue lost in the game,
As power is flaunted, leaving justice to tame.
Humanity yearns for compassion to prevail,
But the veto’s misuse shackles hope with its veil.

Let us unite, demand a fairer terrain,
Where justice is blind, the veto placed in restrain.
For peace and harmony should be our hymn,
Not an illusion, veiled by misuse so grim.
