“Smart” Diplomacy?

Once Israel and Japan
Were treated as friends
But a cold shoulder pervades
What a chill wind portends

A Queen gets a gadget
And a King, a deep bow
“All in”, says the Full House
Against the crumbling Dow

We’ve Reset with Russia
And borrowed Chinese
We beg forgiveness from Islam
They all do as they please

I know where we started
But can’t know where it ends
We’ve turned this ship toward the future
And our backs on our friends

A child knows the numbers
And here’s how they figure
16 million is smaller
And a billion is bigger

Farewell to Jerusalem
Goodbye to Japan
It was nice while it lasted
Here’s the back of our hand.
