Letter to Putin II

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE


Letter to Putin II

 

You have lost this war

You have lost on the battlefield

You have lost in the forum of world affairs

You have lost economically

You have lost strategically

You have lost historically

You have lost philosophically

But what you do not understand

Is that you will lose even if you win

Never again will you be welcomed

In the community of nations

Never again will your friendship be valued

Or your allegiance desired

You have joined the pariahs of the world

You have taken your place in history

Among the despised and hated

You will live out your reign in isolation

Like Lady MacBeth no amount of

Cleansing can erase the stain

You have secured an indelible place

In the eternal book of infamy
