Unity

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS

 

Unity

 

It takes a strongman

To unite the civilized world

In determined opposition

 

An act of bald aggression

Has achieved what was impossible

Only two short years ago

 

Vladimir the Great

Vladimir the Aggressor

Vladimir the War Criminal

Vladimir the Uniter

 

Vlad says war so step aside

All of Europe from Madrid to Brussels

From Lisbon to Paris

From London to Warsaw

From Ankara to Stockholm

From Budapest to Rome

From Prague to Berlin

Stands in unison to cry out No!

You shall not drive us back

Into the age of perpetual war!

No! you shall not conquer neighbors

Without paying a price!

No! you shall not disturb the world order!

You will withdraw from Ukraine

Or sacrifice your personal fortune!

You will withdraw from Ukraine

Or become the planet’s leading pariah!

You will withdraw from Ukraine

Or watch your people suffer!

 

The Russian people do not deserve this fate

The Ukrainian people deserve it less

Withdraw now and change your ways
