RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Another Year of War
On the other side of the world
The war continues unabated
Putin’s horrors are unfurled
As if it had been fated
We would change it if we could
We would bring it to an end
We would lock away the madman
And all his brutal friends
What more can we do but let
Our leaders know we care?
Send our aide and best wishes
Make it easier to bear
Make the oligarchs pay the cost
For Putin’s war of cruel attrition
Let him know his cause is lost
Cut off his ammunition
In our part of the world
The wars are only metaphors
The battle for democracy
A trail of horrid storms
We know life could be harder
We know it could be worse
Our storms are free of missiles
We still think of ourselves first
But we swear we’ll not forget
The many hardships you endure
This world is ever smaller
Of that we can be sure
