RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS (UKRAINE)
Impunity
The Great Dictator has asserted
his absolute and unquestionable right
to brutalize, terrorize and kill
the brave people of Ukraine
with the impunity of a god
He is not a god
He is just a man
A deeply flawed and brutal man
He owns no special privilege
He possesses no special rights
He is what he has earned
Over decades of brutality
He was a killer before Ukraine
He is a killer now
He was a monster before
He is a monster now
What the dictator knows
Or thinks he knows
Is that the cameras will one day vanish
The tears of a weary world will dry
The thirst for Russian oil will grow
And our passions will unfold
The Great Dictator believes that
Time will absolve his crimes
It will fall to all of us
Citizens of the world
To make sure
It does not
