With An Inept Jab
by Michael Doyle

With an inept Parkinson jab
Putin attempts to plant
The false flag of a bioweapons lab
As part of his hateful rant

Claiming Ukraine as part of his empire
Basing this as birthright of the Rus
But such a claim has long expired
And stands only as historical abuse

Long has Ukraine fought for independence
Across the breadth of the Tartar plains
Such claims only strain in transcendence
As the cry of freedom knows birth pains

Showing the danger of calling out views
As extremist if not one's particular choice
Putin calls out the truth as false news
In his vain attempt to suppress Ukraine's voice

Putin is testing the will of those in the West
Pushing for Mother Russia's need for territory
Is this the beginning of World War III in this test
Put on the world for a tyrant's desire for legacy

The fight is on and sadly it must be fought
In the grains of life we see an escalation
Though it is not something that we have sought
The need to rise for Ukraine needs no explanation
