RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GAZA & UKRAINE
Shallow Victory
He believes that he will win
If only he stays the course
History will not record the
Horrors of these immoral wars
In the past there may be truth
The victor writes the story
But the old no longer holds
The oppressor gains no glory
We’ll remember what you did
As long as there are sorrow’s tears
The fiction lasts a moment
The truth endures the years
You are the villain of the tale
The enemy of global peace
Of all the leaders in this world
You are the ones admired least
If that to you is victory
Enjoy it while it lasts
An empty cup upon the shelf
Devoid of all class
In truth there is a place for you
Where all villains have a seat
The ones who proclaim victory
Who will go down in defeat
(for Putin and Netanyahu)
