RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL JUSTICE
Memorial
Evil men want to erase memories
Evil doers want to replace history
With patriotic mythologies
But the memorial remains
Indelibly imprinted in the hearts
And minds of the people
Stalin will always be Stalin
A stone-cold killer of men
Hitler will always be Hitler
A power-hungry madman
Mussolini will always be Mussolini
Driven by delusions of grandeur
Rasputin will always be Rasputin
Unchecked by moral grounding
Mao will always be Mao
Pol Pot will always be Pol Pot
Suharto will always be Suharto
Pinochet will always be Pinochet
Xi will always be Xi
And Putin will always be Putin
The memorial stands in perpetuity
Protected by the light of eternal truth
[Note: Putin orders the grim Memorial
to Stalin’s victims taken down.]
