An Absolute Disgrace

The invasion began on the twenty fourth of February
When in from Belarus came, the filth of humanity
The world soon got to know of their cruel depravities 
Each town they invaded, they were guilty of atrocities. 

Putin had hoped to announce victory, on the ninth of may
But strong Ukrainian resistance is standing in his way
Helped by the civilised world supplying arms to fight
Now Russia can no longer claim to have military might.

The west imposed heavy sanctions but the war is still raging
Especially in the Donbas region where defenders are engaging
Putin doesn't care for loss of life,  to him it doesn't bother 
While sending in his conscripts to be used as cannon fodder. 

But don't be fooled for one minute and offer them any sympathy 
For many of his soldiers have committed, vile acts of atrocity 
Murder, rape and lootings have been committed commonplace 
Reports of young children being bashed, with rifle butt's in the face. 

Buildings shelled and under the rubble many people still alive
The Russian scum wouldn't allow anyone to help them survive 
Mobile crematoria used to destroy evidence, of their killing spree 
But evidence is being documented for the whole world to see. 

Rebuilding all the infrastructure, will take a very long time
And the Russian aggressors must be made to pay, every last dime
Good will always triumph over evil and one day Ukraine will free
And hopefully in time be able to move on, from that awful tragedy. 

To all the would be aggressors out there and especially Putin
The civilised world will support freedom and you'll never win
There will be no forgiveness or a route to save face
Humanity owes you nothing, you're an absolute disgrace.
