Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 History Repeats

A mad man started World War II,

Invading countries on a whim.

To appease, the world did not do

Too much for too long to stop him.

In twenty twenty two the world

Again must deal with a mad man,

Who with his armies has unfurled

A conquer neighbor master plan.

China does watch this Russian's scheme

And ponders well whether or not

To pursue its own Taiwan dream.

The world will grumble, but so what?

Will the attack on Ukraine be

The beginning of World War III?
