Putin, the Paranoid Dictator


Surrounded by his weapons
they’re all that he has left
Of happiness and love 
his rotting soul is long bereft 

Obsessed with dreams of grandeur
a kingdom in his reach 
He hides inside a fortress
fearing always of a breach 

Will his food be poisoned?
Will it be his drink?
The paranoid dictator lives
each moment on the brink
