RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Sanae Takaichi
Sanae Takaichi of Japan
Has been given a dramatic mandate
She will balance if she can
The nation’s debt against its fate
She wants to cut the tax on food
Not a radical proposition
Her defense of Taiwan may seem rude
If you’re a Chinese institution
The Japanese demand change
They were tired of being bullied
A reversal of fortune may seem strange
But their dignity was sullied
Known for stoic conservatism
Takaichi deserves a chance
To deliver a novel populism
If the working folks advance
Managing debt will not be easy
It may require sacrifice
The results may not be pleasing
But the rich must pay the price
