RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Le Pen
There is a madness invading the body politic
There is a poison infecting the heart of democracy
Erdogan of Turkey
Bolsonaro of Brazil
Trump of the USA
Le Pen of France
So now France has been infected
and those who can and will
remember the Vichy government
of Marshal Philippe Petain
The authoritarian nationalist
Collaborator of the Nazi’s
Marine Le Pen
Shall you tempt Vichy again?
We do not believe your temporal denials
You are the collaborator and
Putin is your brethren
You would turn back the clock
on the best of the French tradition
You would sever the heart
of French democracy
even as you sever France
from the heart of Europe
You would betray our friends
in Ukraine
The people will not allow this betrayal
They will send you back into the
darkness from which you came
