What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
Then poor Cordelia!
And yet no so; since,
I am sure, my love’s
more richer than my tongue.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
After last Friday’s.
Disastrous meeting.
In the Oval Office.
It seems nothing.
It seems nothing.
That he says.
Goes down well.
With the US President.
And now the US.
Has suspended aid to Ukraine.
His options are looking.
Increasingly thin.
What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
Then poor Cordelia!
And yet no so; since,
I am sure, my love’s
more richer than my tongue.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
There were unprecedented scenes.
In the White House.
Last Friday.
When ‘Gandalf the Green’.
Clashed with the US President.
And the Vice President.
In front of.
The world’s media.
What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
Then poor Cordelia!
And yet no so; since,
I am sure, my love’s
more richer than my tongue.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
After the meeting.
‘Gandalf the Green’ was ordered.
To leave the White House.
Before flying to London.
Where he received.
A strong show of support.
From European leaders.
Who are at a Brussels summit.
From European leaders.
Who are at a Brussels summit.
To discuss future support.
For Ukraine.
What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
What shall Cordelia do?
Love, and be silent.
Then poor Cordelia!
And yet no so; since,
I am sure, my love’s
more richer than my tongue.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
*Because I read “The difficult choices facing Ukraine’s Zelensky” by Paul Kirby on 4 Mar 2025, “Ukrainians share their hopes and fears on the war” by Lisa Young on 6 Mar 2025, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, inspired by ‘KING LEAR’ written by William Shakespeare, you know.
