Who Does Putin Think He Is?

Who does Putin think he is

To move into Ukraine

In order to carry out his vicious

And murderous campaign?

 

His love of power has gone to his head;

His greed has hardened his heart.

He has proved that he knows how

To make corruption an art.

 

Decapitating the government

Of Ukraine: a Putin goal.

Then he can install pro-Russian leaders

And thus maintain control.

 

Dissenters in Russia who criticize

Putin's bellicose ways,

Can be arrested or worse, for Putin

Demands devotion and praise.

 

Freedom and democracies

Don't work, according to him.

But can the people vote him out?

Sadly, chances are slim.

 

He wants to show the world that he has

Control that's ironclad.

He thinks if his neighbors are democratic,

Then THAT makes him look bad.

 

Well, in truth it does, for he keeps

Russians under his thumb.

If you think things are bad right now,

Then watch what's yet to come.
