RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Propaganda War
As the left begins to turn away
From the besieged people of Ukraine
Moving toward the invaders
Joining forces with the fascist right
The secret Putin sympathizers
(not so secret anymore)
Out of a yearning for peace?
Fear of nuclear annihilation?
Mistrust of the powers that be?
I wonder if we are losing the war
And what the cost will be
If we allow the beast to take Ukraine
What stops him from taking Poland?
The Czech Republic, Sweden, Norway?
If Putin knows he need only threaten
The use of nuclear force
To rebuild the Soviet Empire
Where does it end?
When the pacifist left unites
With the fascist right
Nothing good can follow
