RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Britannia
Beneath the glory of the pageantry
Beneath the sorrow and the mourning
The decline of Britannia presses on
As they christen an age of austerity
With a new conservative prime minister
The Brits will double down on Brexit
While they renew their pledge to NATO
And the war against Russia in Ukraine
Their pledge to war on inflation
Runs contrary to the war on warming
And threatens to crack the alliance
The world is once again divided
The free world against the oppressed
The abusers against the abused
The exploiters against the exploited
There are nations committed to change
And nations determined to regress
At a time of catastrophic disasters
There are nations that do not care
There are nations that see the world
And those that see only themselves
Britannia is at a crossroads
Which way will you go?
Will you hold with the civilized world
Or will you choose to walk alone?
Either way there will be sacrifice
Either way there will be blood
