RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
The Good War
War is never good
Nor can any war ever be considered great
There are wars that are justified
and there are wars that are not
There are wars that are necessary to the
sustenance of human civilization
and there are wars that are fought
for greed and power
We have had too many wars for
greed and power
We have had too few wars for freedom,
justice and democracy
We always fly the flag of patriotism
We always claim a righteous cause
Too often it is a lie
The wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and
Vietnam were lies
The war in Ukraine is not
The people of Afghanistan, Iraq and
Vietnam would not fight for our cause
for it was not their own
The people of Ukraine fight for their
own cause and welcome our assistance
Not since World War II has there been
a war so righteous
Not since WW II has there been
a cause so true
Ukraine is fighting for freedom, justice
and democracy against a brutal tyrant
War is never good but this war is
just and necessary
