RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Havana Syndrome
American diplomats in Havana
Stricken with an invisible weapon
Disorientation and loss of balance
Tinnitus and cognitive impairment
Ultrasound, microwave, an unknown agent
Piercing walls and physical barriers
To disable persons of importance
Our government finds no answers
Answers would require action
Reactions would have consequences
International protocols would be required
Retribution would be exacted
The villains would be exposed
A price would be paid
We know what we don’t know
We possess such weapons ourselves
It is likely we have deployed them
The enemy has been informed
We hold these things in confidence
For they would alarm the masses
We don’t want to know how easily
Our lives can be disrupted
Across borders, within our homes
Anywhere on this earth
