RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: NATO
Reluctant Ally
The alliance is no stronger
Than the weakest of her links
When common purpose is no longer
The alliance slowly sinks
We are a grudging ally
A partner from afar
The rules of conduct don’t apply
When this is where we are
He rails against all members
Who do not shower him with praise
Every slight he will remember
His fickle mood becomes a craze
He pleads for their assistance
In a losing cause of war
When faced with strong resistance
We can hear his hollow roar
It comes down to the Strait
He can’t believe it isn’t ours
The alliances must wait
As we recalculate the powers
If the US does not lead
The vacuum will be filled
Europe’s working at light speed
With renewed strength of will
