Stealing Greenland

Matthew R. Callies

Stealing Greenland, a tale of might,
Trump's desire, a polar fight.
He wants the ice, the land, the sea,
Greenland's riches, for you and me.
 
With tariffs threatened, he'd take the prize,
Denmark and allies, in surprise.
"Give us Greenland," he did say,
"Or face the tariffs, come what may" 
.
But Greenland's people, they won't be swayed,
Their self-determination, not for trade.
NATO allies unite, in firm stance,
No sale, no force, no chance 
.
Trump backs down, with words so sweet,
"A deal's in sight," his tweet to meet.
No force, no tariffs, a newfound peace,
Greenland's future, still uncertain, release 
.
The Arctic's treasures, a strategic play,
But at what cost, this icy sway?
As nations watch, with bated breath,
The fate of Greenland, still a work in death.

    A mere piece of the destruction being wrote by a madman in top spot. He has divided the nation had citizens shot and the issue of immigration nothing he's got. A good poem and a valid point made lets hope that the nation soon awakes from the nightmare.

    NATO's unified allies are little poodle wagging their tails !

    If only it were simply a plot of land peopled to effect, but alas, tis not. That's all I'm allowed to say. There's a reason China and Russia have been invoked. And now you too know too much.

    A serious piece which summarises the whole damn thing. So well writ, but I hope there's no need for a sequel.

    See my poems "Tread carefully, Canada...(1)" and "Tread carefully, Canada...(2)." After Greenland, it will be Canada and Mexico...
