«Make-believe» by Sofia Kioroglou
We have heard it all before
boilerplate platitudes
of love between nationsCrosshatched with devious diplomacy
social solidarity, a contradiction in terms
facile, posturing states of mindA profound rejection of self-interest
in the name of truth, purportedly not invited
into the fashionable salons of the eliteAlways asserting a displacement,
the privileged confidants of secular kings
those hungry panthers prowling for their next prey!https://www.outlawpoetry.com/make-believe-by-sofia-kioroglou/

Make-believe
We have heard it all before
boilerplate platitudes
of love between nations
Crosshatched with devious diplomacy
social solidarity, a contradiction in terms
facile, posturing states of mind
A profound rejection of self-interest
in the name of truth, purportedly not invited
into the fashionable salons of the elite
Always asserting a displacement,
the privileged confidants of secular kings
those hungry panthers prowling for their next prey!
