RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
War in Ukraine
Is Ukraine an independent nation?
An escalation in weapons and guns
Breakdown in diplomatic relations
The war in Ukraine has begun
Amassed on the Ukrainian border
Soldiers missiles and tanks
Disrupting international order
Tension crawls up the ranks
The Russian beast has awakened
In a world beset with pandemic
A cold war no longer forsaken
Our problems become systemic
We have no patience for war
Between the world’s greatest powers
For a waste of precious resources
You could not pick a finer hour
Let there be no more wars
Not today and not tomorrow
Let us answer a soldier’s prayers
Stop the wars, ease the sorrow
