RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
The Great China Freeze
They’re burning coal in China
To survive the winter freeze
They are poisoning the very air
That their people must breathe
It seems the leaders do not care
It is something they believe
If a million people die today
For the benefit of the state
Mark a path and show the way
They will call it the way of fate
But the world must turn this path around
We must find a better road
A path that is reachable and sound
That seeks to lighten every load
We can’t continue fighting wars
We know where that road leads
A rush to shut disaster’s doors
We all suffer, we all bleed
Let’s work together for a change
That works for all our nations
We know it seems a little strange
But its promise is salvation
