RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ON TYRANNY
International Connections
We are not alone in the world
What happens in Ukraine
Can foreshadow what happens here
As it did when Putin unleashed
His propaganda machine in Kiev
The year was twenty thirteen
Putin ran a puppet regime
Enlisting his team of paid hackers
Like a virulent stream of trackers
To flood Ukraine with misinformation
False and misleading accusations
But the local press responded quickly
And Putin’s lackies shriveled sickly
Shot down at every turn
Had we been listening
We should have learned
What happened to them
Would happen to us
Our democracy tossed
Under the bus
In this world we are not alone
We are all in this together
If we form a solid free alliance
There is no storm we cannot weather
