The Great Dictators

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS

 

The Great Dictators

 

Putin and Xi to a large degree

Are the greatest threats to global peace

Xi thinks nothing of forced labor

They are no worse than their evil neighbor

Putin is busy rattling his saber

All hail the great dictators!

 

Putin claims a righteous cause

Abusing borders and flaunting laws

He did the same in Belarus

Denied the people a right to choose

Between freedom and democracy

Or a life ruled by hypocrisy

Putin is a miserable satyr

All hail the great dictator!

 

What can be said of Chairman Xi?

How horrifying can one man be?

Suppressing protests in Hong Kong

We knew where he stood all along

He sees democracy as the great threat

Taiwan, Hong Kong and Tibet

Genocide: Can we turn our backs?

Tiananmen Square you’re on track

Is there anyone who’s greater?

All hail the great dictator!
