RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS (UKRAINE)
Putin’s Allies (the Devil’s Companions)
Putin launched his war on the west
Long before the invasion of Crimea
Infecting the body politic with the
Promise of nationalist authoritarianism
Poisoning the public discourse
With fear of the immigrant others
Le Pen and Zemmour in France
Matteo Salvini in Italy
Schroder and Weidel of Germany
Thierry Baudet of the Netherlands
Kyriakos Velopoulos of Greece
Santiago Abascal of Spain
Boris Johnson of Britannia
Bolsonaro of Brazil
Trump of the USA
They trip over their own tongues
Their own promises and loyalties
Yet the truth is clear
They are soldiers in Putin’s army
A war against democracy
A war against western values
A war against individual rights
And civil liberties
Listen to them carefully
For when the sanctions begin to bite
They will show their true colors
They belong to Putin
And they will return to him
At first light
