Mad Ramblings of a Dictator

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Mad Ramblings of a Dictator

 

The madman of the northern empire

Delivers a rambling history lesson

To an indifferent and astonished world

A prelude to invasion

A rationalization for aggression

An ultimatum of war

 

He vilifies Lenin and Gorbachev

The peacemakers of Russian history

He laments the collapse of the empire

The rusting away of the Iron Curtain

The fall of the Berlin wall

He laments the advance of civilization

and pines for the good old days

when the Soviets ruled with an iron fist

 

He believes in his twisted heart

that he is on the side of righteousness

that he is on the side of destiny

that all the world is wrong

and he alone is right

 

His madness is drawn in blood

His dream of a new empire is clear

He is a danger to the world

He is a danger to humanity

He is a danger to the planet

at a time we can least afford it
