RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Saudi Payback
For decades we have turned our backs
On violations of basic human rights
Because the industrial world needs oil
We’ve put our differences out of sight
They have long denied women’s rights
They have abused the rights of labor
They have sponsored Islamic terrorism
Committed crimes against their neighbor
We have given them our weapon systems
We’ve asked little in return
Now that we need cooperation
They let the alliance burn
The time has come for payback
The days of friendship are done
If they want to curry Putin’s favor
They can go without our guns
