The worst sunrise in life happens
As Putin brings the storm of war alive
And death comes
From land, sea and sky
Tanks, assault troops,
Attack helicopters
And ships rain down on
Innocent people
Who only wanted
To live freely in peace.
Poor old petulant Vladimir Putin
Attached to a warped past
An empire that no longer fits
The twenty first century
And democracy is
An impossible dream
Not when dictatorship
Feeds corrupted oligarchs
Who gorge on western ways.
The new czar wears bloody robes
So terrible even communists
In China see the East is Red
Rising again and flying
Over the masses once more
Liberation of imaginary borders
Are written by Kalashnikovs
Pointed at children’s heads
Making bullying fashionable again.
