Understanding Incapable
(after the sonnet style of Alexander Pushkin's Eugene Onegin)

MEMO but no understanding.
Cease-fire but the fires don't cease.
Donald's signature rebranding
his own bungled wars as 'Peace.'
What is Israel requiring?
U.S.A. for rent or hiring?
Trump’s suggestion to Iran:
“Let’s pretend I have a plan.
We'll do some negotiating.
Send us Soleimani, quick!”
(Trump then has him murdered. Sick!)
Threatening, ingratiating:
Who would take us at our word?
Nothing could be more absurd!
