Russia Refrain

Russia refrain. Russia refrain
from warring against
your sisters and brothers in Ukraine

You impose an unnecessary struggle
for a petty power grab
forcing the hands of the Slavic world to juggle
all of the punitive atrocities of battle
destruction and loss
The Russian snake must lose its head, not just its rattle

Slithering Putin — a man of greed and self-bolstering
striking with venomous fangs
unleashing all of the war crimes he was holstering

Spreading poisonous lies to all of his Russian people
greedy despot, evil spider
supposed himself a deity — the focal point of the soviet steeple

Russia fall back. Russia fall back
You bite all, including yourself
You are the offender. Senseless deaths result from your attack

For you, history books will have no kindness
Avarice and treachery
Even your own people are dying from your gluttony and blindness

You pulled the pin, placed your bet; are your costs now sunk
YOU COULD STOP THIS
but you sipped on power, and with it got yourself drunk
It will be a very nasty hangover for sure
YOU CAN END THIS
you’re only robbing your people, and you’ll only make yourself poor

Russia refrain. Russia refrain. Russia please refrain.
