RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
Moral Dilemma
I believe in my bones conscription is wrong
As an army of conscripts is weak
I believe that the cause of Ukraine is strong
But the prospect grows dimmer to bleak
It is a dilemma that cannot be unwound
They are fighting a brutal beast
Yet they stand on shaky moral ground
Which path is offensive the least?
There must be a way to defeat this foe
Without becoming what we detest
The price for aggressive war must grow
In unity from the east to the west
The affront of Russia must never prevail
This evil must be stopped in its tracks
The way of war must be derailed
An end to all imperialist attacks
Until then we live in compromise
Until then these wars will not end
Until this world becomes more wise
Our moral foundations must bend
