RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
The Rise of Europe
The stage is set
The beast has shown its teeth
The unifying threat
He strikes when we’re weak
Or so he thinks
Or so he thinks
A new empire he seeks
To sanctify his past
A union of dictatorships
That cannot last
It cannot last
Democracy will rise again
And Europe leads the way
Putin played his hand too soon
It will not pay
He cannot stay
He played his hand in Germany
He counted on the Reich
But the neo-Nazis could not hold
The people have grown wise
It is you they despise
You they defy
He played his hand in Paris
But the numbers came up short
Le Pen lost in the election
They lost in the courts
He will lose again
He cannot win
Cannot will not win
He has lost in the Nordic states
They wish to rise in freedom
In the morning when they wake
They know what’s at stake
They know what to make
Of false prophets
Who only take
And take and take
When Europe stays united
With the democratic west
Ukraine wins its freedom
The world shows its best
We’ll pass this test
And reinvest
In freedom and democracy
