The Shakedown

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE

 

The Shakedown

 

We expect you to sit idly by while

We negotiate your existence

 

You want weapons?

You’ll have to pay

You want a future?

You’ll have no say

 

We want your mineral resources

Or we’ll send you to the dogs

 

You want a nation?

Get out of the way

You want your freedom?

You’ll need our okay

 

We will give you what you need

If you give us what we want

 

This is our game

Would you like to play?

We have no shame

It ends today.
