RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RUSSIA
Open Letter
People of Russia I humbly speak
I appeal to your humanity
If peace is what you seek
Do not yield to your vanity
Don’t believe that we are weak
You are not your dark leader
We are not the same as ours
In a forest of hard cedar
We have both built our towers
We have listened to deceivers
But we do not desire war
Despite all you might have heard
When you knock upon our door
We will hear your honest word
And we will travel to your shore
As for the matter of Ukraine
We believe in basic rights
Let us make it very plain
We do not believe in might
We will not embrace the pain
We believe in sharing views
We believe in compromise
Let us walk in common shoes
Let us form more common ties
If we fail both sides will lose
For the world and for ourselves
We must end this bitter hate
Put our differences on the shelf
Let us forge a better fate
Let’s regard each other well
