Whose side are you on, Mr President
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is redirecting anti-drone equipment earmarked for Ukraine to its own troops based in the Middle East. The decision comes as Russia has intensified its drone attacks in recent months, targeting cities across Ukraine. President Trump said “Ukraine has no cards to play to end war with Russia”
A friend in need is a friend indeed
To end the war at any cost
Make sure that Ukraine has lost
How can you do this, Mr. Trump?
My throat now has a lump
You keep on playing Russian tune
So dear to the Kremlin goon
Give in, give up, “no cards to play”
To push, to cut, forego, betray
I fail to wrap my aching brain
Around children being slain
The ruins, pain and desperation
Knife in the back and no salvation
Forsake Ukraine’s bravest souls
Somehow it meets our foreign goals
Let Russia win, you're “Putin’s friend”
Is this how war is going to end?
Don’t kid yourself, the ugly beast
To take the West and North and East
Oh, why, but why you make us act
As if your soul has been hacked?
I have no clue what drives White House
From where I stand, Trump looks like louse
Ukraine shall win, of this I’m sure
With or without us, and endure
