Blame the Russians

Blame Russia 
A thought flew and past I saw a shadow in the afternoon sun 
it was a quick devilish thing I tried to hold on to it.
But I saw a transparent ocean shifting shingles on the beach 
of Greenland and lazy seals waiting to be shot.
While I missed the news about flooding In Georgia and 
the flood at the zoo freed animals and there were great fear
 of wild animals roaming the countryside. 

Tigers, lions and hyenas ran for their escaped a moment of 
freedom not to be missed to be looked at, what they saw as food.
Perhaps the lion could find the Savannah and the tiger find its 
way back to India so the hyena could have a laugh. 

It was not to be, men with guns comb the countryside and 
if the animals they encounter look foreign a trigger is pulled. 
Yet, I could not remember what the thought was other than
 the news blames the Russians which reminds of the Nazi regime 
which also blamed the Russians too and lost, we the people are 
victims of relentless propaganda and the people who want a war 
will have their day and burn in a nuclear hell.
