US Strikes Yemen In Attempt To Check Houthi Rebels

Sands of conflict, shifting and sinking
As powers collide in this ancient land
Houthis ascending, borders remapped
Future unclear in the rebel's hand

Alliances fragile, tensions escalating
Peace but a dream for the common man
Cities in ruin, civilians awaiting
When will this conflict finally end?

World watches silent, motives calculating
Resources and power the purpose at hand
Brothers take arms, unity separating
Who shall emerge when the dust finally settles?

Songs of despair, mothers crying
Families torn apart in the fray
Country divided, millions dying
Yemen's sorrow increases each day

From above, missiles reign down
As Western powers join the fray
Seeking to curb the Houthis' gain
With shows of force and power plays

UK and US target rebel posts
Warning shots across disputed lands
While eyes watch for peace at all costs
And question if this helps or harms

The strikes heat up already tense skies
As years of war continue to take their toll
One more move in this lethal game of lies
Pushing Yemen further from its peace goal
