RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Abstention
On the question of aggression
The annexations in Ukraine
The world stood up with dignity
China and India abstained
Comes a time to take a stand
A time to go against the grain
A time to stop and take measure
A time to get on board the train
But when the votes were counted
On the matter of Ukraine
A handful stood with Putin
China and India abstained
In the history of our race
There will come a time and place
When the world must stand together
To aid catastrophes of weather
Helping one will help us all
To rise when would fall
Some will answer without pause
Some will disobey the laws
Some will rise to the occasion
Some will protest the invasion
Some will say it’s all in vain
Some will vote and some abstain
In the hour of great need
Some will cry and some will bleed
Some fall silent, some complain
China and India abstained
