Putin's Long Tentacles

From Moscow to Kiev
It is not too far.
Putin wants to be
The new Russian Czar.

The Russian ballet
In Moscow's Bolshoi
Became a death dance
In Putin's war convoy.

Sanctions are sweet bullets
Never punish bad behavior
Always hurt innocent people
Never believe any nation's saviour.

Tolstoy, Gorki and Dostoewsky
Great works they wrote.
Putin's future biography
An odious bloody note.
