In Bed with Putin

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: PUTIN

 

In Bed with Putin

 

The world condemns Russian aggression

Demands withdrawal from Ukraine

Laments the dictator’s oppression

Yet their protests are in vain

 

Exempted from the world’s opinion

In a measure of disgrace

Are the fascists and their minions

The United States is out of place

 

Our president has made it clear

He despises all democracies

We are on the side of Vladimir

And all the world’s autocracies

 

We’ll pretend it is the cause of peace

As we form a dark alliance

Democracies we’ll value least

As we face the world’s defiance

 

We’re in it for the money now

We will hope that we survive

We’ll watch the NASDAQ and the Dow

For the oligarchs will thrive
