RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Staring Down the Barrel
We knew what were in for
We were always on the run
We were heading for the exit
Underneath a setting sun
Like a woman on a tight rope
One wrong step and we’re done
We were staring down the barrel
of a gun
We were desperate and afraid
Like a child that has no one
We were carrying a load
That must have weighed a ton
We were running short on luck
No one lost and no one won
We were staring down the barrel
of a gun
When we awakened in the morning
We were naked and alone
All our friends and trusted allies
Had given up and gone home
We were all out of trying
We were down and we were done
We were staring down the barrel
of a gun
(for Ukraine)
