The Dead and Dying

As Putin continues his bloody quest

To ravage Ukraine, we watch in shock

As innocent Ukrainian

Civilians are dying around the clock.

 

We have to constantly ask ourselves,

"Is all of this dying worth it to him?"

If this is part of his ongoing push

To expand his rule, the future looks grim.

 

Announcing phony accusations

Before the UN is part of his plan

To craftily legitimize

His propaganda as much as he can.

 

Of course, conspiracy theorists here

Are siding with Putin--our adversary.

Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson

Spouts pro-Putin commentary.

 

It's almost as though Carlson has

A means of direct communication

With Putin, whereby the two of them

Can further their mutual adulation.

 

And so they continue to throw spaghetti

Against the wall to see what sticks.

Watch the results as the two of them

Keep throwing lies into the mix.

 

As both Putin and Carlson peddle

Disinformation, people are dying.

How anyone can justify

Such senseless bloodshed is mystifying.
