Beneath Putin’s Thumb

Somewhere out there just
beneath
Putin’s thumb and the
spiralling
plumes we have each
grown
accustomed to, a swathe
of crimson
devastation and desolation lie

......and in the glint
Of his cold grey, eye?
An insinuation
That this world
Undervalues,
Is unappreciative of,
Disrespectful to,
His place in history....
As the true
Reincarnation
Of Peter the Great....
Rightful Tsar
Of the savage,
Magnificence that is...
Mother Russia,
The Rodina!
