RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
BRICS
Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa
You are judged by the company you keep
Brazil, South Africa, India
I believe you are in too deep
Do you really want to be
In the company of brute dictators?
Far better to make friends
With republicans and liberators
You’ve been tempted by oppressors
In all their varied forms
Blatant cheats and vote depressors
We hope you have reformed
But if you wish to make alliance
With the planet’s worst offenders
We’ll reconsider our reliance
On your human rights defenders
A new world is taking shape
We are taking it in stride
Consider every step you take
Do not take the other side
