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
