International Instability

World order has been shaken by events
Those often devastated avoid war
Though they initiated its comments
Ties upon which fate relies to wend more

Along life's precarious paths of thought
Driven by searching procedures defined
Are rapidly disassembling to nought
Roads to freedom, by dirth with death are lined

Distances must be judged as well as clocks
Some nations when under stress simply starve
Who can feed depends upon keeping stocks
While only neighbors stop devils that carve

In the middle of silent nights for needs
Entering houses or places of sleep
Moving as quietly as climbing weeds
Generations build trust inside our keep

Traitors must wander amongst us right now
Turnstile anti just multiplied the wakes
Bowshock mixing makes a turbulent plow
Grinding breadless peasants searching for cakes

Pompous confusion misleads by weakness
All their strong voices are becomming ill
In case the world flies right into bleakness
They won't have to face war's contestant will
