Itโs out! The truth is spoken by the West:
Itโs not about the people of Ukraine!
The leaders of โUtopiaโ confessed
(Though anyone possessing half a brain,
Who has the sense to get out of the rain,
Knows they donโt care for Ukraineโs sovereign rights.)
Itโs all about regime change, Iโll explain:
Itโs Putin who is squarely in their sights.
It is for this their foolish proxy fights.
Putin holds back the poisoned Western tide
That sweeps across the world โ dimming the lights.
The West wishes to have a puppet guide
Great Holy Russia to the wrecking yards,
And Putin, Nemesis, holds all the cards.
