The little man whose megalomaniac ambitions
are being thwarted by an unseasoned upstart
who refuses to allow his country to be destroyed
to satisfy the whim and will of a neighbour conveys
his bitter resentment of those in the wider world
for whom the bullying injustice of intransigence
stings sufficiently despite a cautious unwillingness
to join the victim against its oppressor yet arms
and trains its military so that its weaponry matches
its valorous stand against a larger, richer, well-armed
adversary resulting in attrition but not the conquest
the aggressor yearns to achieve. War could be over
peoples' lives saved, no more rape, looting or
infrastructure destruction if only the Western
world would mind its own business and let Russia
get on with its' and the planet will rotate as it must.
