A small, unrhymed piece on diplomats and their lords.

### The Diplomat

The Diplomat's a sorry, somber sort

who murmurs, meek, before their looming lords

and sings to them apologies for crimes 

unfurled in distant lands by foreign kings

for whom regurgitation is a part

of every meal, and every meeting, too, 

so they may preen and puff their feathers up

in indignation, fulminating fowl

enraged by slights perceived, however small,

and each prognosticates calamity

across their scintillating spectrum tales,

although the prophesied destruction feared

by them is not the falling of the sky,

obliteration of the masses, nor

return of wretched exiles to the nest.
