Dance with the Devil

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS (UKRAINE)


Dance with the Devil

 

Once upon a twisted tale

We signed the Missouri Compromise

An agreement destined to fail

Neither virtuous nor wise

 

Now the free world is asked to agree

Which nations shall be enslaved

Which are empowered to be free

While we descend in virtue’s grave

 

It’s a dance with the devil

Down a twisted path

It may soothe for a while

But it will not last

 

We should not have condoned slavery then

We should not consent to enslavement now

Look back with wisdom remember when

A dance with the devil was once endowed

 

It’s a dance with the devil

Down a twisted path

It may soothe for a while

But it will not last
