RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: SYRIA
The Fall of Damascus
In the absence of opposing power
Damascus will fall
Iran is weakened by the Israeli war
Russia cannot answer the call
Their soldiers are preoccupied
Up against a Ukrainian wall
The Islamic State is still alive
Turkey is fighting the Kurds
The rest are divided into disparate tribes
Awaiting the latest word
In the absence of an opposing power
The remaining powers thrive
What happens next nobody knows
Save that anarchy will reign
A constant struggle only grows
A land of chaos gone insane
The civil war will carry on
Until some party wins
The tyrant of the day is gone
The tyranny begins
In the absence of opposing power
The prevailing wind grows strong
