RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Takaichi Speaks the Truth
To speak the truth is dangerous
To a political career
Sometimes the truth will follow us
And swallow us with fear
Sanae Takaichi, leader of Japan
Has spoken true and clear
It was long past time to take a stand
For Taiwan is near and dear
Should China violate the truce
In defiance of all laws
Japan would surely have to choose
To yield or show its claws
The Chinese seem to get their way
Though often they are wrong
All nations have a price to pay
From the weakest to the strong
If China moves against Taiwan
There will be a resistance
With consequences hard and long
Taiwan will get assistance
Do not become a hated land
A land of cold aggression
Don’t force the world to take a stand
Taiwan is your obsession
