Acquiescence begets hegemony...

Think Putin whose forename

Vladimir translates as great power,

whose singular minded aim

after lobbing bombs into

second-largest country

by area in Europe after Russia

incurring voodoo spells

foisted upon president of Ukraine

forced neophyte politician

Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy

to buckle and cower.

Meanwhile many another leader

cherishing their slice of freedom

quakes in their boots

dumbfounded, horrified, tight lipped

as Russian bird of prey

swoops down analogous as buzzfeeder

to seize global totalitarian power.

Not far fetched dystopian nightmare

to envision every country

spanning webbed wide web

subservient to his majesty

where pay obeisance

to his honorable premier

who issues commands

at his Kremlin headquarters.

Aforementioned worse case scenario,

whereby every waking

and sleeping second
under watchful eye

all social media platforms

under henchmen of Putin regime

monitored, governed, controlled...

by self anointed unnameable nemesis

their doomed fate constituting
penalty of death wasting away

amidst Gulag Archipelago
(happy haunting ground
of many a dissident)

if anyone among bajillions of serfs

heard to badmouth, denounce, find fault...

with despotic, cruel, bristling, autocrat...

Meanwhile, these remaining cherished

hours, minutes, and seconds
before United States of America

forcibly plundered, usurped, yanked...

(at threat of nuclear bombardment

courtesy you know who)

might choose to swallow

either cyanide, hemlock,
overdose on anti anxiety medication...

versus forced to become submissive

toward our "benevolent" leader.

Truth be told even Trump

yours truly would prefer

yet fat/slim chance

such a golden opportunity will occur,

though rumor abounds were

pee you tee eye en able to clamor

access and excel at supremacy

(as seen in a powerpoint presentation)

there would prevail nary a murmur,
nor peep among the human league

only dogs and cats would be privileged

to express themselves,

viz courtesy to bark and purr

and actually be treated as royalty.
