Goosesteps in Red Square

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Goosesteps in Red Square

 

Tanks rolled in the Kremlin today

Soldiers goosestepped in Red Square

On a freezing cold and snowy day

Mother Russia remembers Victory Day

 

The Russians fought against the Nazis

Millions starved and died

But they held strong against the tide

Their hearts rightfully filled with pride

 

But the war they fight against Ukraine

An invasion of their choosing

We can’t pretend it is the same

And this time they are losing

 

America stood behind them then

Now we stand against them

They have the weapons and the men

But the civilized world condemns them

 

You cannot take a land by force

Because you held it long ago

We must not allow aggressive wars

To enable a nation to grow
