RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
No Peace
There is no peace in Syria
where forever war still reigns
in Yemen or Nigeria
where war’s an old refrain
In Gaza there’s no peace
in Israel or Ukraine
in Russia there’s a beast
whose war is now ingrained
There is no peace in Pakistan
the old war rages on
no peace in Afghanistan
the Taliban is not gone
There’s no peace in any nation
where the iron fist is strong
there is no celebration
where everything is wrong
There is no peace in India
in China or Taiwan
in Asia or in Africa
in Thailand or Saigon
There is no peace in Paris
in Berlin or Brazil
as long as terror scares us
the threat of war is real
