RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Russians Rise Up!
From Moscow to St. Petersburg
From the Urals to the Baltic Sea
From the Volga to the Arctic Circle
From Eastern Europe to Siberia
Rise up and be counted!
Rise up in the name of freedom!
Rise up for your own independence!
Rise up for the people of Ukraine!
Rise up against the Great Dictator!
Rise up for Alexei Navalny!
Rise up for a brighter future!
Rise up to demand a change!
Rise up for prisoners of conscience!
Rise up for all the journalists
and dissidents who gave their lives
so that you might live in freedom!
The people of Mother Russia
do not deserve a life of oppression
any more than the people of Ukraine
or the people of Georgia
or the people of Albania
or the people of Romania, Poland
Bohemia, Slovakia and Belarus
All the peoples who have known
the iron fist of Soviet brutality
Rise up!
March on the streets of protest!
Once more in the spirit of liberty!
Once more in the spirit of equality!
Let the dictator know his days
cannot endure the hour!
The world cannot live in peace
while people are subjugated
in any nation anywhere!
Rise up children of Mother Russia
and let him know his reign of terror
has come to a merciful end!
