RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Boots on the Ground
Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan
They did not ask us to lend a hand
We fought our wars on their land
We hoped they’d understand
Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan
We put our boots on their ground
We asked them not to let us down
When we unleashed the hounds
Iraq is not Ukraine
The differences are plain
Like sunshine and forever rain
They do not want our soldiers
We do not want their grain
Ukraine is not Afghanistan
Though they share a common thread
The Russians once invaded them
An act they came to dread
An act the world condemned
Ukraine is not Vietnam
They do not want our troops
They don’t want our boots on loan
They only want their country
They want to defend their own
