RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Failure to fund the war in Ukraine
A war of bold aggression
A struggle for independence
A war Russia started but we sustained
Threatens to topple the Free World Order
Since the end of the second World War
We have led the way
We have made tragic mistakes
The war in Vietnam
The Contras in Nicaragua
Chile’s Augusto Pinochet
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
We have never turned our backs
We have never lost our purpose
We have lost our way but not our cause
Now we are about to abandon our role
As the leader of the Free World
Now we are about to abdicate
By failing to honor our sacred obligation
We are betrayed by a turncoat faction
More loyal to a former president
Than to the principles of democracy
The fate of Ukraine is in our hands
We must now call on Europe to lead
We must now yield our leadership
Will Europe rise to the challenge?
Will her support be sufficient?
We cannot know
Will we awaken in time to save Ukraine?
We can only hope
If we fail in this cause
We become a lesser nation
But Ukraine becomes no nation at all
