RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Hypocrisy: Gaza & Ukraine
If you condemn the Israelis
For their relentless attack on
Schools and hospitals in Gaza
On the mass destruction
On the many civilians slain
But fall silent on the bombing
By the Russians in Ukraine
Hypocrisy
If your tears flow and your anger rages
At the plight of the Palestinians
After months of this campaign
But after years of aggression
In the battle for Ukraine
All your anger is spent
All you outrage is restrained
Hypocrisy
If you fail to acknowledge
That Hamas landed the first blow
In an act so boldly evil
The reaction was foreknown
Yet you allow for Putin’s actions
With that’s the way the river flows
Hypocrisy
End the war in Gaza
Support Ukraine
Stop Netanyahu
End Putin’s reign
