The Ballad of Vladimir Putin

This is a tale of a ruler;

Vladimir Putin's his name.

Unlike a man with a conscience,

This one has no sense of shame.

 

His paranoia controls him.

His ego controls him as well.

Among our current world leaders,

We can find no parallel.

 

Running the world's largest country

Can be a challenge that's tough;

However, as large as it is,

To Putin it's not large enough.

 

So now he has sent Russian troops

Into the land of Ukraine.

Putin's great thirst for power

Is something that he can't contain.

 

Putin can't stand the idea

Of having a country next door

That's strong and democratic.

For him that's a reason for war.

 

And so he came up with excuses

To justify his attack.

How does one deal with a lying

Megalomaniac?

 

How many people will suffer?

How many people will die?

How many now will be homeless?

How many children will cry?

 

How many more dissenters

Will end up going to jail?

Which world democracies

Will Putin try to derail?

 

Who is the next to be poisoned

For speaking his or her mind?

With how many more rubles

Will Putin's pockets be lined?

 

Most of the world agrees

That Putin is clearly a brute.

Praise that day when the Russians

Finally give him the boot!

Yes, praise that day when the Russians

Finally give him the boot!
