RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
A Delicate
Balance (Hard Choices)
It’s a question of relative evil
The world’s need for Saudi oil
The invasion of Ukraine
The crimes on Yemeni soil
The Saudis are brutal oppressors
The Russians are equally bad
We yearn for simpler times
The relationships we once had
But the world has never been simple
We have had to make hard choices
When we silence one bad player
We enhance another’s voices
In the place we find ourselves today
We require the Saudis on board
To ease the global tensions
To end the Ukrainian war
The time must someday come
When we deal with the devil no more
I confess it seems unreachable
Like a ship on a distant shore
