What Will History Say?

History will tell the story

Of how the U.S. abandoned Ukraine--

Of how an American dictator rose

To power and left it out in the rain--

 

Of how he sidled up to the leader

Of Russia, and how his admin team

Carried out their Führer's plans

By fully supporting the tyrant's regime--

 

Of how the American dictator lied

And called Ukraine the true aggressor,

In total opposition to his

Wise and compassionate predecessor--

 

Of how the European nations

Continued to give Ukraine support

While the American bully's team

Continued to look for truths to distort--

 

Of how the American tyrant discounted

The pain that the Russians had inflicted

Upon the Ukrainian people, who

Held out longer than folks had predicted--

 

Of how the bully would help Ukraine

ONLY if there was quid pro quo,

For as a transactional tyrant, he didn't

Like it at all if someone said no--

 

Of how the dictator's sycophants

Maintained that democracy had failed,

Scoffed at the rule of law, and cheered

When liberties were being curtailed.

 

What will history say of the people

Who flatly refused the tyrant's demands--

Resisters on American shores

And caring leaders from other lands?

 

Maybe if all goes well, the cruel

And vicious tyrant will choke on his glory,

And leaders of democracy

Can change the outcome of history's story.
