Spying on one another to undermine
Using public forces to keep peoples embroiled
To what future Super Men our backs supine
Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 46
Will COP leaders be around in five years nine
Their great careers made Their statues unveiled
To what future Super Men our backs supine
Apparatchiks clubby diplomatic kind
Allegiance to rival parties well-coiled
Will COP leaders be around in five years nine
Spying on one another to undermine
Using public forces to keep peoples embroiled
To what future Super Men our backs supine
Stock-piling nuclear arsenals to churn brine
While oceans lash out the people will be boiled
Will COP leaders be around in five years nine
Mighty men who pat each other to outshine
One another in local Catch-rings all coiled
To what future Super Men our backs supine
To what then duped masses owe their fated grind
If not to nymphomaniac egos well-guiled
Will COP leaders be around in five years nine
To what future Super Men our backs supine
To answer your question on NOT knowing anything about COP, Monseigneur Don Ron, here's a link - open it and translate it through the automatic process available these days on your computer:

For over 20 years now, the COP (Conference of Parties) - including representatives from the non-governmental sectors - and representing some 190 nations have been convening (in Paris 2015; Madrid 2014; Glasgow 2019, etc.) to deliberate on ways and means (reduction of temperature to around 2°C by 2100 through prohibiting use of charcoal, deforestation, conversion of thermic vehicles to electric ones by 2035, the awarding of $100 billion to developing nations who cannot afford to cope with the extra costs involved in the conversion process, etc.) in order to formulate a viable platform to combat greenhouse gases, methane, etc.
Please credit my account to the tune of $150,000 for the lesson on climatic change news by tomorrow, please!!!
I'm not sure what COP (city of Paris?) means, but your poem is still relevant today with even America now going ahead with creating more nuclear weapons, to what purpose?
There are no new problems under the sun, just old ones that never seem to get resolved without some superhero spider-man to come to our rescue, naught.
