He picked this up
If nothing else
“Love thy enemy
As thy self.”
And pray for those
Who persecute you
Because that’s the
Christian thing to do

Is he as close
As it may appear
And why is he that
Into Vadimir
It’s enough to
Give us a scare
If you’re paying attention
Or aware

Chances are
None to slim
That Putin doesn’t
Have the goods on him
Could it be
Some hotel trim?
Or the golden showers
Shared by them?

Whatever it is,
He acquiesces
To Putin’s wishes
Through
His excesses
Praising dictators
And the aggressive
Autocrats he always blesses
