UPON THE WALLS

 


They stand upon their walls

Waving their fists, spending

Their wrath upon those who

Speak against them, Ukraine

Assuredly.  Poland and 

Finland should be next.


Amongst the brethren another

Rages against the Taiwanese

“Scatter you!  Flee, for I 

Shall surely pounce when

You least expect.”  Meanwhile

We fearful free count missiles

And tanks and tremble.


The end is near.  There is

A sound of grinding

In our ears, an inexorable 

Coming of evil riding 

On a devilish red horse. 

The jaunty rider smiles 

Down at us his handiwork.
