Time to “extricate”
the villain who threatens
the safety of the world,
who diminishes democracy,
demeans our women, our artists, our scholars,
all those who do not salute his agenda.
Restore respect to every culture
a world-wide strike against this wicked plunge into tyranny,
every voice raised in songs of protest.
Save the alliances,
find a padded cell where Putin, Netanyahu and Trump
can play cards together
in their private Dante-circle of Hell.
Let us all be free again
to shake hands and make peace
with one another.
There may yet be time for a future.
Katherine L. Gordon, Epiphany, January 2026.
