There once was a banker in Davos,
Who warned that the worlds turning chaos.
The order is cracked,
The old rules are sacked
This isnt a phase, its a status.
In French et English Mark Carney cried,
That the fiction we loved has now died.
Great powers compete,
With no rules to keep neat
The strong take their fill, weak abide.
Be clear, said the man to the hall,
This isnt reform, not at all.
No gentle mutation,
But a sharp separation
A rupture that startles us all.
The crowd rose in thunderous cheer,
While elsewhere a post did appear:
A flag-covered map,
From an A.I. app
Where borders grew oddly unclear.
There once was a man in Davos
Who spoke of a world turned to loss.
The story we told,
That the rules had a hold,
Was pleasantand false at its gloss.
He warned, with a measured despair,
That power now rules everywhere.
The strong take whats near,
The weak learn to fear
No court, no constraint, no repair.
Dont soften the word, Carney said,
This isnt a path gently led.
Not transition or trend,
But a break with no mend
An order pronounced fully dead.
They stood and they clapped in the hall,
As if that might cushion the fall.
Polite, well-fed dread
Met with hands overhead
A ritual masking it all.
While flags swallowed borders online,
Drawn clean by a soulless design,
A map learned to lie
At the speed of A.I.,
And conquest was rendered benign.
Outside, the snow fell unchanged,
Indifferent, white, and estranged.
Inside, men agreed
What theyd lost and might need
Then returned to a world rearranged.
