My people and I thank you
For your wish of victory on the high seas.
May it be as you say, now and forever.
To you and yours we wish no harm,
we only want Ghawar and Ras Tanura.
P.S. if that was poetry, count me as a Japanese haiku expert - but I think the number of syllables was all wrong, and so was the spirit.
Maybe - very optimistically - this could make it as iambic pentameter? It has five lines, and pretty much encapsulates the Spirit of the West.
