Putin’s plan has gone awry
Ukraine won’t come easy
Didn’t count on Ukraine’s fight
Or the iron-willed Volodymyr Zelensky
Vladimir tries to roll his tanks
Into Kiev like a king
But Volodymyr shows they’ll fight to death
To freedom they will cling
Vlady was a KGB agent
Volody was a comedian
Vlady’s army’s scorching earth
But Volody will not bend
Vladimir and Volodymyr are actually the same name
But Russian and Ukrainian spellings digress
The two men couldn’t be more different now
As we view this sordid mess
Vlady thinks he’s Peter the Great
Expanding Russia’s empire state
Volody has more humble goals
Keep his people free and safe
Putin’s nukes are his big threat
To keep the world in line
But play that card, Vlady-boy
We’ll set your world on fire
Historic events now underway
Kiev 2022 a special time
Geopolitical pillars are moving
Like Berlin in ‘89
Vlady’s doubling down on pain
Destroying cities to make some gains
But Russia’s future goes down the drain
As the killing machine grinds on
Vlady-boy, you’re bound for hell
And Volody up to heaven
Putin may be 5’ 6”
But Zelenskyy’s 5’ 7”
