Mister Ultimatum…

I am Mister Ultimatum,
I hand out time with conditions.
Better cooperate or you’ll suffer the demolitions.
If I warn you, it’s for a reason—to make you think.
I’m a compassionate hero, always giving a chance.
Act dumb and it’s ultimatum right here.
Get cocky with me and ultimatum over there.
He who warns doesn’t betray—I offer you options.
If wars break out, it’s your fault—you didn’t choose right.
At the UN, I greet with a theatrical wink.
I hand over my list of conditions on the front page.
The world stands still, waiting for my final signal.
I make a grand gesture and extend the deadline a bit more.
