RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Nuclear Threat
A poker player does not show his ace
A chess master does not tip his moves
A commander does not reveal his strategy
A leader does not threaten nuclear war
Unless he is desperate and cornered
The pariah of the new world order
Has raised the specter of annihilation
Mutually assured mass destruction
He has evolved from a toothless beast
To a madman in a collapsing kingdom
He is no longer the Russian strongman
He is no longer the untouchable leader
His veil of invincibility has shattered
The myth of his mighty military gone
He has ruled in an age of his own demise
He has guided his ship into the rocks
He has led the great regression
Away from freedom and democracy
Toward dictatorship and greed
His story is already written
His legacy is a toppled statue
The once great commander of the north
Has fallen in disgrace
The question now is:
Will the Russian people follow
His path to self-destruction
Or will they rise to the moment?
(Note: The people are rising; the question
Now is what will the military do?)
