RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Football Riots in Belgium
In a world on the edge of destruction
A never-ending series of tragedy
With millions of people dead
From a virus we could not control
With democracy on the balance
in nations once thought secure
With economies at the breaking point
With homelessness on the rise
and the plight of the working poor
In a world of global warming
bringing storms like never before
In a world brutal aggression
upending the world of order
bringing threats of nuclear war
The Belgians throw a riot
over a football score
(Morocco defeats Belgium 2-0)
