A Nation's Nightmare

He's off-the-wall
Unprecedented gall
A human catcall

Sins and grins
Feels no chagrin
Conscience of tin

Lies and fibs
Speaks in mad-libs
Smack in the ribs

Text and tweets
Clumsily browbeats
Brutally mistreats

It's no joke
Hatred's unyoked
Violence stoked

Is he secretly rootin'
For another shootin'?
  ~ So is Putin
