Putin unhinged (poem below)

In recent months it has become clear that Putin has lost his grasp of reality, inflicting a nightmare on the Ukraine and his own people as he pursues a demented plan warped by wishful thinking and manic desires.

 

His end is near.

Putin unhinged

 

He became unhinged

Verging on insane

But hiding it well

An Emperor with no clothes

But crazy dreams

And many yes men

Singing his praise

Praising his plans

While stealing from the army

And raking in the rubles

As supply trucks sank into decline

The great army a sham

 

Until one day

Whispering began

And doubts surfaced

While thousands lay dying

His soldiers retreating

His army in shambles

His pipe dream a war crime

His mastery a myth

 

Until one day they cursed him

Declaring him unfit

A maniac

A madman

A criminally incompetent fool

Whose time had come

A dose of polonium-210

Slipped into his Lomonosov tea pot

Ended finally

His war

His nightmare

And his regime
