putin is not
the czar
of mother russia––
he is the warden
of nightmare russia
with weapons
of every fear
at his disposal.
his twisted mind
rejoices in an assault
on sleeping
beauty––
his kgb imagination
provides him
with a little cabinet
of horrors
to torture
every heart
in russia––
to murder
every heart
in the world.
is he a madman
or a demon hiding
in a madman
suit?
he can harm
any person in russia––
any way he wants––
at will.
he can kill
any snoozing baby
anywhere on earth
by the force
of his arms.
his fickle mind
toys with the image
of a war
that will destroy
the world.
his adversaries
have begun to enclose
him––
but they are playing
by the rules––
scalding russia––
putin untouched.
putin issues
an order
& his militerror
will kill––
any way he likes––
any where on earth––
over-easy
or sunny-side up.
