For over three long months , the war has been raging
Against the Russians, the Ukrainian army are engaging
You can't help but admire them, for putting up such a heroic fight
Heavily out manned and outgunned, against military might.
But the west needs to speed up their shipments of artillery
So that Ukraine can match them, on the battlefield militarily
Vladimar Putin is a bare faced liar, a war criminal and a crook
Who has broken and trampled over, every rule in the book.
He's threatened to execute three members of Ukraines army
Accused of being mercenaries, but they're in the military!
It's a total sham trial and the whole world can see through it
It's Russian soldiers who are war criminals, a fact he won't admit.
Enough is enough the west, has to stop pussyfooting around
Or the world won't know peace until Putin's six foot underground
The world would be a much safer place, without him in power
Or are we just happy to dance, to his obscene tune and cower.
The war criminal Putin has threatened, to hit western supplies
NATO and the west should respond, and give him a surprise
Deliver those rocket launchers sharpish, to Donbas in the east
And give the Ukrainians a fighting chance, of beating the beast.
When this unjust war is over the imposed sanctions must stay
Ukraine will need a lot of rebuilding and its Russia who must pay
Other despots are watching closely, the tactics of Vlad Putin
The west must send a strong message that he's not going to win.
