RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Davos
They gather once a year
The richest of the rich
The chosen of the chosen
To discuss survival of the fittest
The existential crises of the times
As if they were mere observers
As if their decisions were sideshows
And not the main event
They control the horizontal
They control the vertical
What they discuss at dinner
Effects every life on the planet
Perhaps in the cosmos
If they choose to stop Putin
Putin will be stopped
If they choose to end Ukraine
Ukraine will be ended
If they choose to alter the climate
The climate will be altered
If they choose to bury democracy
Begin the funeral dirge
But they choose to do nothing
They stand by and watch
The tragedy of human life on earth
They control the horizontal
They control the vertical
They are the masters of this life
Their survival is assured
