RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: UKRAINE
The Silence of America
As Russia launched a devastating attack
Into the beating heart of Ukraine
Zelensky pleaded with the world to strike back
To make their collective outrage plain
London, Berlin and the European Union
Condemned the blatant escalation
The free world stood in communion
All except one lonely nation
The silence of America was loud
Like a shot in the quiet of night
Vladimir Putin must have been proud
He has silenced America’s might
The world must revise its alliance
NATO and all free nations
In light of America’s silence
They can hardly expect salvation
They know that this can’t last forever
This aversion to freedom’s cause
The nation from its roots is severed
Not forever but just for a pause
America will be herself again
We can only wait and pray
Greater than we’ve ever been
A nation that will not stray
