In Celebration of a Monster

 Russia's Putin says Ukraine advance 'going to plan' | Russia-Ukraine war  News | Al Jazeera

Give that man a medal. Wait; for truly

distinguished performance that will add 

his name to the annals of history as an

proudly unrepentant bloody tyrant, give him

the full complement, a chestful of medals

for he has achieved pride of place among the

world's most despised tyrants. The bravado

typically aligned with those such as he

offering self as a patriot and national hero

suits well his aspiration toward a legacy

that will echo his nation's admiration such

that no loathing of his persona and his personal

vendetta spelling the death of thousands, those

he describes as enemy fascists and his own

loyalist military can suffice to blemish the 

golden aura of Russian strongman, striking

fear into the hearts of his foes. His legacy is

well entrenched; the stench of destruction and

mass death he ordered advanced spreads its

vile hatefulness in celebration of a monster.
