And we ought to work our diplomacy first and I think it's a reason it's going to respond increasingly to our diplomacy particularly with the president's direct involvement in the peace process, and I think that's extraordinarily important.

Though no one wants war, Congress needed to give the President the authority he needs to protect America while encouraging the use of diplomacy and negotiations to try and arrive at a peaceful solution to this problem.

Yebus
Where do come from my love?
And of the swarm of bees and honey around you;
For the customary for the bride and bridegroom are ready,
And i am using diplomacy to meet your love.
The man who appeared to me came again and,
Of the thirty friends for his thirty linen garments;
For the time of the wheat harvest is near and,
I will use diplomacy to meet your love.
I am very powerful like the sun but,
Your beauty had met my love like the bees around you;
And the summer is right here in the land of love.
Come and share with me and,
Come and let us play in the garden of love;
For i am Yebus from a land far away!
But i will always seek for you.

And I am also here to say that if something were to happen, we are prepared to respond swiftly, to respond effectively, and to respond strongly. That is our tradition as a country. And that is a tradition that we will uphold, regardless of any circumstance because this nation is one that is very, very strong and, indeed, extraordinarily resilient.

Peace MaGents!
A quiet mind is richer than a crown,
A smiling face is unfriendly to a frown,
The smiling sun is home at a village and also in town
And a flag of harmony will never carelessly fall down...
Peace MaGents!
Life is one short piece none dares to miss:
when ants work and snakes hiss,
when uncle gives a hand to niece,
when you and I unite in perfect peace;
Peace MaGents!
A heart content breeds relief -
Relief so good as spicy beef -
Spicy beef cut like unto a leaf -
A leaf that dries up not, only if:
only if there is peace in all our lands,
Peace MaGents!
Diplomacy is not a diploma but a quality,
So, let us no longer show partiality
but let's work together for equality
And sail together in a ship of amity -
Peace MaGents!
Together controlling our emotions,
Together sharing our notions,
Together destroying all factions,
Together tackling all the devil's sanctions
And, lo, together pursuing goodwill actions,
Peace MaGents!
Let our hearts melt with love and no longer freeze,
Let our nerves receive only a diplomacy breeze,
Let our hands hold one and two release
so that the spirit of UBUNTU will never cease,
Peace MaGents!
Peace is a cake of an enormus size,
As far as I do realize,
So let's hold the knife together and rise
So that the world sees we're wise - not otherwise!
Peace MaGents!
Come let us reason together, and think.
Hurry, let's join our hands and link,
Let the sons and daughters of the soil not wink
'till all worms of violence and hatred sink.
Peace MaGents!
The past is like a river flowing out of sight,
Yet the future is an ocean filled with opportunity and delight,
So, come along, not by power nor by might
but by his spirit who created day and night,
Peace MaGents!
Like the Victoria Falls together let's roar and flow,
Though we flow in a river full of snow
Let's come to terms, to freedom square slow by slow
And we shall prosper yes I know, I know, I know!
Peace ladies, Peace MaGents,
PEACE ladies and gentleman!

Life is Everything
Diplomacy has gone
with the wind
encased in bullets
and strapped on bombs
Life is worth nothing
Money is everything
Blood soaked money
in chests locked up
in vaults guarded by
expendable life
Money is everything
Rehabilitation has failed
addiction is my prediction
Social programs in decay
what do these presidential
candidates have to say
Money is everything
Life is everything
Without it we'd have
nothing to fight for
There would be nothing
we wouldn't've survived
the tests of time to
presently fail.
It is life that
we live with
Stop death
Diplomacy now
Life is not worthless
Money is not everything
Life is everything
Protect life first

Peace
i
there was this myth
about the lost sandal in Lake Lanao
that unless it is found
peace cannot be recovered
ii
i remember about what the little boy did
the hero
when he lost his slipper to the river
he then threw the other one
iii
you see
what he was driving might be
that peace is a wholesale matter
take all
or nothing
it is either you have peace
or you have war
there is nothing in between
their diplomacy
whatever is found in between
there is only hypocrisy
there is only strategy

In the defense of our nation, a president must be a clear-eyed realist. There are limits to the smiles and scowls of diplomacy. Armies and missiles are not stopped by stiff notes of condemnation. They are held in check by strength and purpose and the promise of swift punishment.

Poisonos girls
Wars are not won merely by bravery
You may have large army of infantry or cavalry
Wars may bring destruction and misery
It is useless, senseless and simply unnecessary
War can be won by use of diplomacy
May settle problem and establish supremacy
On one side threat and other side peace advocacy
Open field for sending state to insolvency
How many lives may be lost in process?
Atrocities, torture and force used in excess
No horrified tales to find its way to world
Deaths, hunger, poverty only to emerge in cold
Modern warfare involves great precision
But lacks firmness and vision or decision
Faulty planning and error leads to war
Nobody thinks of war and what is meant for!
Our ancestors had great vision ands reason
Boundaries were fully secured in all the seasons
Prosperity all over and no worry for invasion
Death penalty for robbery and high treason
Girls were used for sabotage in neighbourhood
They were reared and fed the poisonous food
Sent with mission to kill the easy target
Kingdoms sent into jittery and preparedness forget
Many kingdoms were simply raged to ground
The real reason was not ascertained or found
Poisonous girls played their part as sacred duty
They were not ashamed or felt pity
It is nature’s law that simply allow
Big fishes go to small one to swallow
It is continuous process and goes on
We simply catch the mood and act upon
Big kingdoms used to adopt same way
In long run it stood ground and used to pay
Little kingdoms lost their territory and freedom
This might be considered as tactics and wisdom
Modern diplomacy lack teeth have no such tactics
It only thrives and relies upon figures and statistics
Brutal use of force or aggression is only way in politics
Sovereign states are free to determine course of action
Territorial integrity and freedom should invite no reaction

We must continue to pursue peace through diplomacy, but we must also not shrink from our responsibility through the option of strength. We must take advantage of internal resistance and change from within Iran to avert this path of mutual destruction.
