A Shadow over Taiwan

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS

 

Taiwan’s Shadow

 

As the Iran War consumes our weaponry

Taiwan should be worried

While we’re obsessing with one enemy

The Chinese threat is stirring

 

If China attacked Taiwan

How would we respond?

Would we let them bang the gong?

Would we sever our long-held bond?

 

If we can strike a sovereign nation

Five thousand miles from home

Consider China’s strained relations

With those within its zone

 

They hammered down on Hong Kong

For daring to defy them

Striking Taiwan would be wrong

But how could we deny them?

 

We’ve overextended our military force

Far beyond what they can handle

It is time to set another course

Declare victory and light a candle
