RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Escalation
We are cautioned against escalation
It’s time we warned the other side
You can’t destroy a sovereign nation
You can’t negotiate genocide
There’s not enough in your cupboards
And there’s too much on your plate
You will bankrupt your whole nation
If you dare choose to escalate
So gather up your weapons
Take your soldiers back home
If you want to build your empire
You will build it all alone
You have threatened the whole world
With a nightmare of war
But the greatest of all nightmares
Is the nightmare that is yours
So pull out while you still can
Admit you’ve met your mate
Immortal history will understand
It’s the only move left: de-escalate
