RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Contingencies
What will Zelensky do
When Trump betrays Ukraine?
What will the continent do
When Russia makes it plain
That they will not stop the war
As long as Putin reigns
As long as there is more
To load on Russia’s train?
What will America do
When Europe does not fold?
What will China do
When Putin’s act grows old?
When the whole world realigns?
When democracies grow bold?
When India reads the signs?
What will the world do
When all are forced to choose?
Old ties or something new?
Who wins and who will lose?
When the people finally rise?
To claim their sovereign prize
And affirm their best allies?
