balance of power

the balance of power

When Kennedy lit Nikita's cigar 
no one said
Nikita, smoking is not a good thing for you
America could not accept a foreign power
so close to the American shore 
and quite rightly so 
Russia did the right thing and pulled out 
Nikita noticed the young president's hands
trembled and smiled
yes, it had been a hard call 
both men respected each other
Today in Ukraine, the situation is the same
but America's leaders show no concern
damaged is done to Russia 
not understanding her new leader
will not back down 
the reason is vanity and pride from 
 America's side
by calling out Putin's bluff 
we will live to see 
world war 3
