Although it wasn’t shock and awe
Nor action that we all foresaw
It did, though, violate the law

Since Russia did Ukraine invade
And Putin proclamations made
That DONBAS hosted sovereign states

Luhansk and Donetsk, he declared
Republics that no longer fared
As part of Ukraine’s land they shared

But no authority has he
Himself to issue such decrees
Defying Ukraine’s sovereignty

“Peace keepers” Putin named the force
He sent to DONBAS, but, of course,
It was invasion; no remorse

Some sanctions Biden will impose
Deferring harsher ones; he chose
To try deterrence; though he knows

That shock and awe we’ll likely see
When Putin sets his forces free
The Ukraine as their enemy

Really, this time it looks real
For Putin it’s too late to deal
Face saving off ramps, none appeal

Two hundred K’s a lot of troops
All set to launch in major groups
And take Ukraine in one fell swoop

Decision’s made, Joe Biden said
It’s based on Intel he’s been fed
Portends a lot of people dead

The object here’s to overwhelm
Zelensky ousted from his realm!
Put Putin’s puppet at the helm

All done in days, not months or years
His subjects all will stand and cheer
His cost in lives won’t be too dear

His war, I think, won’t go that way
Ukrainians won’t fade away
They’ll fight the fight each every day

With our support and NATO too
With sanctions strong; it’s what we’ll do
Against their banks and leaders too

For Russia’s weak economy
‘Twill soon become calamity
With Putin viewed with enmity

We, too, will feel inflation’s bite
The cost of standing for what’s right
Against aggressing with one’s might

The DJI will likely fall
The FED will likely change its call
Inflation’s movement to forestall

For that and that I have to pray
It really doesn’t go that way
For now that’s all I have to say

I am a die-hard Trumplican
A proud Proudboy Republican
A patriot – American

I cross my heart and hope to die
Trump can’t do bad and that’s no lie
When Trump says”jump”, I say “how high?”

It’s Biden really makes me ill
It’s vaccinate, against my will
Democracy? I’ve had my fill

The Dems, the Jews, the Browns, the Blacks
Not true Americans, a fact
It’s time we took our country back

So at the polls let’s all take note
There is one simple antidote
Yes, simply do not count their vote

The RNC defined itself by coining its most recent phrase
It so described the one-six mob who stormed the nation’s Capital
As protesters pursuing rights who were, in doing so, engaged
Politically in lawful acts (of violence); “discourse” ‘twas called

Agreement was unanimous: no member voiced opposing views
And on the Hill was silence heard among Republicans so loud
Except the few who had the guts to say it really wasn’t true
But of the rest I wonder whether of their silence they feel proud

Like Trump what’s black they’ll claim is white; they’ll traffic in his blatant lies
The total power that Trump wields o’er most Republicans today
Should in the future he becomes the President, I would surmise
It won’t be just the RNC but all the nation in his sway

Wake up! Wake up! All Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans
Enacting policies, I know, has always been your worthy goal
It’s time to shout now to the nation that our freedom can’t withstand
Republicans in power again. They’d kill democracy, its soul
